Love

Song

by Anna Wickham 1883–1947

From Modern British Poetry, ed. Louis Untermeyer (1920)

Love

I was so chill, and overworn, and sad,
To be a lady was the only joy I had.
I walked the street as silent as a mouse,
Buying fine clothes, and fittings for the house.

But since I saw my love
I wear a simple dress,
And happily I move
Forgetting weariness.
