Doubtful Stages

An error universally believed it is, I know,

That we should look at you when you are in glow

But I have noticed, oh, so, so long ago

How happy you are when you're stared at in awe.

But this only leads to one explanation

And please, there is only one interpretation,

That you think of yourself too weak, very ill

But so far you haven't fallen, yet I'm sure you will.
