The Mind
A Ballad of Fair Ladies in Revolt: XXXVIII
From Poems — Volume 2
The Mind
—To err in mind, sir . . . your friend smiles: he may!
To err in mind, if err in mind we can,
Is grievous error you do well to stay.
But O how different from reality
Men’s fiction is! how like you in the plan,
Is woman, knew you her as we!
