“THE ANTIQUE MIRROR” . <
Quaint old-fashioned mirror, Your’s was faithful reflection, Of the long list of faces, That came for inspection; Old faces, young faces, Sad, mad and glad faces Fair maidens, staid matrons, Gay boys, and stern men. Unlike the voice or versatile pen, You neither did flatter, Or compliments scatter, But told all your patrons, The plain facts of the matter, From adorable dimples, To wrinkles and pimples, Smiles, grins and laughter, The abject morning after, That followed the elation Of too frequent libation; But of all that you saw. Quaint old glass on the wall, You never gave one of your clients away, And are ready as ever, For the faithful reflection Of all faces, that come to you for inspection. H. SERGANT.
