Catching the Devil
| Catching the Devil written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Birth Of Song", 1936 | Link to further information |
Not while her charms are still in flower,
We'll trust no woman then;
Not till her beauty's gone for good,
Can she be safe with men.
I thought I loved an angel once,
Without one breath of evil -
Till, smiling in my cunning trap,
I saw the very devil!
I set my trap in my friend's face,
With his weak face my glass;
Till, with his looks reflecting hers -
O Lord, how false she was!
