Time & Brevity
“Why she moved House”
From Human Shows, Far Phantasies, Songs and Trifles (1925)
Time & Brevity
Why she moved house, without a word,
I cannot understand;
She’d mirrors, flowers, she’d book and bird,
And callers in a band.
And where she is she gets no sun,
No flowers, no book, no glass;
Of callers I am the only one,
And I but pause and pass.
