SYNOPSIS

This poem is seen through the eyes of the poet who describes a situation whereby the persona,probably a young lady,who is captivated by the quiet eyes of a young man.The lady believes she sees in those eyes mirroring the sadness within him and begging herfor love and kindness so as to give him happinies.

The second stanza reveals that the lady was not wise enough to listen to the advice of never to be on good terms of those who only seek fun and pleasure.As a result,she gets entangled in a difficult situation where numerous questions cannot be answered.

The poet ends up in the third stanza with a bit of further advice,that is one should be extra certain that a nice-looking petrson is also one who possesses a decent character.This is to ensure that one does not not lose at the game of chance i.e. the game of life,though losing out one's heart(love) once or twice is understandable.
