THE FABRIC by GAMALIEL BRADFORD

First Line: SHE COULD UNTANGLE WITHOUT SCANDAL
Last Line: THE STRUCTURE INTO LITTLE BITS.
Subject(s): FATE; DESTINY;

She could untangle without scandal
The complicated threads of Fate,
Was amply competent to handle
Her stocks and bonds and real estate.

She thought she could maintain unbattered
The fine, firm fabric of her wits;
And then love came along, and shattered
The structure into little bits.
