HE	A
	-
One decade and a half since first we came	B
With hearts aflame	B
Into Love's Paradise as man and mate	C
And now we separate	C
Soon all too soon	D
Waned the white splendour of our honeymoon	D
We saw it fading but we did not know	E
How bleak the path would be when once its glow	E
Was wholly gone	F
And yet we two were forced to follow on	G
Leagues leagues apart while ever side by side	H
Darker and darker grew the loveless weather	I
Darker the way	J
Until we could not stay	J
Longer together	I
Now that all anger from our hearts has died	H
And love has flown far from its ruined nest	K
To find sweet shelter in another breast	K
Let us talk calmly of our past mistakes	L
And of our faults if only for the sakes	L
Of those with whom our futures will be cast	M
You shall speak first	N
	-
SHE	A
	-
A woman would speak last	M
Tell me my first grave error as a wife	O
	-
HE	A
	-
Inertia My young veins were rife	O
With manhood's ardent blood and love was fire	I
Within me But you met my strong desire	I
With lips like frozen rose leaves chaste so chaste	P
That all your splendid beauty seemed but waste	P
Of love's materials Then of that beauty	A
Which had so pleased my sight	Q
You seemed to take no care you felt no duty	A
To keep yourself an object of delight	Q
For lover's eyes and appetite	Q
And indolence soon wrought	R
Their devastating changes You were not	S
The woman I had sworn to love and cherish	T
If love is starved what can love do but perish	T
Now will you speak of my first fatal sin	U
And all that followed even as I have done	V
	-
SHE	A
	-
I must begin	U
With the young quarter of our honeymoon	D
You are but one	V
Of countless men who take the priceless boon	D
Of woman's love and kill it at the start	W
Not wantonly but blindly Woman's passion	V
Is such a subtle thing woof of her heart	W
Web of her spirit and the body's part	W
Is to play ever but the lesser role	X
To her white soul	X
Seized in brute fashion	V
It fades like down on wings of butterflies	Y
Then dies	Y
So my love died	H
Next on base Mammon's cross you nailed my pride	H
Making me ask for what was mine by right	Q
Until in my own sight	Q
I seemed a helpless slave	Z
To whom the master gave	Z
A grudging dole Oh yes at times gifts showered	A2
Upon your chattel but I was not dowered	A2
By generous love Hate never framed a curse	B2
Or placed a cruel ban	C2
That so crushed woman as the law of man	C2
That makes her pensioner upon his purse	B2
That necessary stuff called gold is such	D2
A cold rude thing it needs the nicest touch	D2
Of thought and speech when it approaches love	E2
Or it will prove the certain death thereof	E2
	-
HE	A
	-
Your words cut deep 'tis time we separate	A2
	-
SHE	A
	-
Well each goes wiser to a newer mate	A2
