Love’s Old Sweet Song

 

You packed your bag with care,

And went with blithe contempt.

         I heard your descent on the stairs,

         Your fading footsteps in the night.

                     I let our room to Mrs. Grief,

                She rented by the day,

            I sold our house assigning her

               The lessee of a Mr. Free.

                                  -Nancy Janes
