Here you will find the Poem He looks in my heart and the image there of poet Lesbia Harford

He looks in my heart and the image there

He looks in my heart and the image there 
Is himself, himself, than himself more fair. 
And he thinks of my heart as a mirror clear 
To reflect the image I hold most dear. 
But my heart is much more like a stream, I think, 
Where my lover may come when he needs to drink. 
And my heart is a stream that seems asleep 
But the tranquil waters run strong and deep; 
They reflect the image that seems most fair 
But their meaning and purpose are otherwhere. 
He may come, my lover, and lie on the brink 
And gaze at his image and smile and drink 
While the hidden waters run strong and free, 
Unheeded, unguessed at, the soul of me.
