-
Rearrange a Wife's affectionB
When they dislocate my BrainC
Amputate my freckled BosomD
Make me bearded like a manE
-
Blush my spirit in thy FastnessF
Blush my unacknowledged clayG
Seven years of troth have taught theeH
More than Wifehood every mayG
-
Love that never leaped its socketI
Trust entrenched in narrow painC
Constancy thro' fire awardedJ
Anguish bare of anodyneC
-
Burden borne so far triumphantK
None suspect me of the crownC
For I wear the Thorns till SunsetL
Then my Diadem put onC
-
Big my Secret but it's bandagedM
It will never get awayG
Till the Day its Weary KeeperN
Leads it through the Grave to theeH
