Trio

Topics: classic

So well she knew them both! yet as she came     Into the room, and heard their speech     Of tragic meshes knotted with her name,     And saw them, foes, but meeting each with each     Closer than friends, souls bared through enmity,     Beneath their startled gaze she thought that she     Broke as the stranger on their conference,     And stole abashed from thence.
