Encounter
A woman looks back on a stairway and sees an image of herself.


Encounter

As I was going up the stair,
I met myself but wasn’t there,
a phantom me was going down,
though clothed instead in other gown.

I paused to watch her still descend
and she in turn around did bend;
I never saw a face so fair
as I saw then upon that stair.
