He Had Such Quiet Eyes


The poem describes how a girl is deceived by the appearance of a seemingly sincere man. She eventually succumbs to his desires for physical intimacy. She does this despite warnings and advice from others about the possible dangers and consequences of being too trusting and naive.

She regrets later when she realises how she has been taken in by his false expressions of yearning for her. The poem ends with advice given to women; fleeting heartbreaks when relationships fall apart are better options in comparison to the folly of naivety.
