The Mirror's Eye

There was upon a time a man who saw
That while a man was he but not to draw
For mirror saw him in the eye a flaw
As saw he mirror straight ahead once more

"Sing for he the mirror by did stare his self within the eye"

Stood forth, that man, who while he 'jacent stood
To burnished glass and less than burnished wood
Now gazed a pupil bearing this well good:
Look not for but to stand and say once more

"Sing for he the mirror by did stare his self within the eye"

But why for he the hurricane did pass
And not pick up the man below; alas
Did shriek above as man regarded fast
His self within the mirror's glass once more

"Sing for he the mirror by did stare his self within the eye"
