I have on mine no likeness to your fairy queenlike face,

Resemblence

Winifred Welles (1920)

I have on mine no likeness
To your fairy queenlike face,
No sign in all my body
Of any of your grace.

I might have been a changeling,
As well have been a son,
As to grow up your daughter
And look like anyone.

But where your two breasts parted
A small mark darkened you,
And over my heart’s beating
I have the same scar too.

A little seal and golden,
Whereby it shall be known
That you have shaped and borne me
And stamped me as your own!
