The girl in the tea shop
Is not so beautiful as she was,
The August has worn against her.
She does not get up the stairs so eagerly;
Yes, she also will turn middle-aged,
And the glow of youth that she spread about us
As she brought us our muffins
Will be spread about us no longer.
She also will turn middle-aged.
This is a straightforward poem about the aging process in a woman. It might have deeper meanings than that but it seems simple. She was so beautiful but life has crept up on her.
