Tidy apartment Airy and high, Up a tall tower -- An ideal nest For love and rest. Joyfully working She hummed and sang Never tiring -- 'Cause, newly wed, Her heart's love-fed. Proudfully content He lounged and read Books galore -- Saying ever He'd make life easier. Now she needs more rouge And wonders why Her darling boy Without effort Is so short of breath. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A CARRIER WHO DIED OF DRUNKENNESS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE SHADOW ON THE STONE by THOMAS HARDY TO THE NIGHTINGALE by JOHN MILTON PSALM OF THOSE WHO GO FORTH BEFORE DAYLIGHT by CARL SANDBURG THE SAD SHEPHERD by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS FAREWELL by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE |
