She has a mysterious smile <br />Folks wonder what it means <br />It’s been written in the text books <br />And envisioned in some dreams <br /> <br />Nat King Cole crooned a song <br />About Mona Lisa’s smile <br />Folks have wondered curiously <br />And studied her awhile <br /> <br />Did she smile because of love? <br />That wistful little grin <br />A thought perhaps in her mind <br />As she remembered him? <br /> <br />Did her face appear in a dream <br />Her talented artist had one night? <br />Or was it, in fact, the face of the man <br />Who sketched his own mirrored sight? <br /> <br />Of course no one will ever know <br />The true story of the smile <br />But it’s great fun, don’t you think? <br />For she truly could beguile!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mona-lisa-s-smile/
