Would you prefer the eloquence and charm,

     The glitter and parade in bright display

          Of silken flattery’s embellishments,

     The flashy compliments, light dalliance

And gaudy presents offered every day?.

 

Would you prefer the quiet peacefulness,

     The undemonstrative, calm certainties

          Of humble honesty’s simple regard

     And mild acceptance of whatever hard

Or gentle incident involves your days?.

 

I only ask because I wish to know

     Whether appearance means as much to you

     As substance to myself , or otherwise?.

Is that, or this, the spark which lights your eyes?.
