AT A DINNER PARTY

At A Dinner Party

With fruit and flowers the board is decked,

The wine and laughter flow;

I'll not complain - could one expect

So dull a world to know? 

You look across the fruit and flowers,

My glance and your glances find. 

It is our secret, only ours,

Since all the world is blind.
