BARTER, by EARLE V. EASTWOOD First Line: A book you may buy for a shilling Last Line: Can only be bartered for pain. Subject(s): Love; Trade | |||
A book you may buy for a shilling Where quaint little shops tempt the throng, And love, though your guineas are useless, Perhaps may be had for a song. You may, should the volume displease you, Exchange it or sell it again; But love that you buy with your singing Can only be bartered for pain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRICE OF WOMEN by KAREN SWENSON BLUE CANTON-WARE by SARAH A.
