(1992 / malawi)

What do you think this poem is about?

from a distance

lie me not oh mine eye,
for all at a distance are but a lie.
fairness may charm your heart
at a distance,
and shut thy sight
with the seal of grace,
all you'll sight is the fairs face,
for all at a distance are but a lie,
then lie not so all mine eye.
