Thinking of one thing all day long at night	A
I fall asleep brain weary and heart sore	B
But only for a little while At three	C
Sometimes at two o'clock I wake and lie	D
Staring out into darkness while my thoughts	E
Begin the weary treadmill toil again	F
From that white marriage morning of our youth	G
Down to this dreadful hour	H
	-
I see your face	I
Lit with the lovelight of the honeymoon	J
I hear your voice that lingered on my name	K
As if it loved each letter and I feel	L
The clinging of your arms about my form	M
Your kisses on my cheek and long to break	N
The anguish of such memories with tears	O
But cannot weep the fountain has run dry	D
	-
We were so young so happy and so full	P
Of keen sweet joy of life I had no wish	Q
Outside your pleasure and you loved me so	R
That when I sometimes felt a woman's need	S
For more serene expression of man's love	T
The need to rest in calm affection's bay	U
And not sail ever on the stormy main	V
Yet would I rouse myself to your desire	H
Meet ardent kiss with kisses just as warm	M
So nothing I could give should be denied	W
	-
And then our children came Deep in my soul	X
From the first hour of conscious motherhood	Y
I knew I should conserve myself for this	Z
Most holy office knew God meant it so	R
Yet even then I held your wishes first	A2
And by my double duties lost the bloom	B2
And freshness of my beauty and beheld	A2
A look of disapproval in your eyes	C2
But with the coming of our precious child	A2
The lover's smile tinged with the father's pride	A2
Returned again and helped to make me strong	D2
And life was very sweet for both of us	E2
	-
Another and another birth and twice	F2
The little white hearse paused beside our door	B
And took away some portion of my youth	G
With my sweet babies At the first you seemed	A2
To suffer with me standing very near	G2
But when I wept too long you turned away	U
And I was hurt not realising then	F
My grief was selfish I could see the change	H2
Which motherhood and sorrow made in me	C
And when I saw the change that came to you	I2
Saw how your eyes looked past me when you talked	A2
And when I missed the love tone from your voice	J2
I did that foolish thing weak women do	I2
Complained and cried accused you of neglect	A2
And made myself obnoxious in your sight	A2
	-
And often after you had left my side	A2
Alone I stood before my mirror mad	A2
With anger at my pallid cheeks my dull	K2
Unlighted eyes my shrunken mother breasts	L2
And wept and wept and faded more and more	B
How could I hope to win back wandering love	T
And make new flames in dying embers leap	M2
By such ungracious means	N2
	-
And then She came	K
Firm bosomed round of cheek with such young eyes	C2
And all the ways of youth I who had died	A2
A thousand deaths in waiting the return	O2
Of that old love look to your face once more	B
Died yet again and went straight into hell	P2
When I beheld it come at her approach	Q2
	-
My God my God how have I borne it all	R2
Yet since she had the power to wake that look	S2
The power to sweep the ashes from your heart	A2
Of burned out love of me and light new fires	T2
One thing remained for me to let you go	R
I had no wish to keep the empty frame	K
From which the priceless picture had been wrenched	A2
Nor do I blame you it was not your fault	A2
You gave me all that most men can give love	T
Of youth of beauty and of passion and	A2
I gave you full return my womanhood	A2
Matched well your manhood Yet had you grown ill	U2
Or old and unattractive from some cause	V2
Less close than was my service unto you	I2
I should have clung the tighter to you dear	G2
And loved you loved you loved you more and more	B
	-
I grow so weary thinking of these things	W2
Day in day out and half the awful nights	X2
