Dead Transparency

My bones are made of glass
The transparency of which has
Undoubtedly paid its due.

Too long, too lonesome have I been crystal clear
I should towards mystery my charms steer
Hide furtively that I hold dear
The quality of your dew.

But should I to you act a dream
Of the lowest morality will I seem:
A deceitful merchant giving you for free
What in others you'll find is plenty.

Yet true, to you, were I
That will not your eyes satisfy
And my own graceful song, unheard

Will die.
