Ballade At Thirty-Five |
| This, no song of ingénue |
| This, no ballad of innocence; |
| This, the rhyme of a lady who |
| Followed ever the natural bents |
| This, a solo of sapience |
| This, a chantey of sophistry |
| This, the sum of experiments, -- |
| I loved them until they loved me |
| Decked in garments of sable hue |
| Daubed with ashes of myriad Lents |
| Wearing shower bouquets of rue |
| Walk I ever in penitence |
| Oft I roam, as my heart repents |
| Through God’s acre of memory |
| Marking stones, in my reverence |
| «I loved them until they loved me.» |
| Pictures pass me in long review,-- |
| Marching columns of dead events |
| I was tender, and, often, true; |
| Ever a prey to coincidence |
| Always knew I the consequence; |
| Always saw what the end would be |
| We’re as Nature has made us -- hence |
| I loved them until they loved me |
| Princes, never I’d give offense |
| Won’t you think of me tenderly? |
| Here’s my strength and my weakness, gents — |
| I loved them until they loved me |
