What have you done with your blue look? - Hulda Dagny Lütken

What have you done with your blue look?
Once your eyes were like the sky.
Now your eyes are full of grey indifference
when they look at me.
And your hands lie motionless on the table.
Your love has grown old.
I myself am old.
But my heart quivers with youth.
But my heart – that you don’t see.
You cannot see my heart
with your indifferent eyes.

Hulda Dagny Lütken (1896 - 1946) Denmark
