Look in the mirror and what do you see ? This is your golden time, your early spring A dew-fresh face, peachy and wrinkle free You are sweetest rosebud near blooming Your sparkling dark eyes of the deepest blue are a hidden sea by Nature painted . Your luscious berried lips of blushing hue are with gentle lovers not acquainted. Your vernal looks recall your mother’s prime Beguiling, fair and lovely was she then Before she faced the whips and scorns of time But winter’s ragged hand will come again To your daughter make your beauty’s bequest Let her and this poem be death’s conquest.
