The Two Women

Title:     The Two Women
Author: G. K. Chesterton [More Titles by Chesterton]

Lo! very fair is she who knows the ways
Of joy: in pleasure's mocking wisdom old,
The eyes that might be cold to flattery, kind;
The hair that might be grey with knowledge, gold.

But thou art more than these things, O my queen,
For thou art clad in ancient wars and tears.
And looking forth, framed in the crown of thorns,
I saw the youngest face in all the spheres.

[The end]
G K Chesterton's poem: Two Women
