WIDOW MYSIE by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: O WIDOW MYSIE, SMILING SOFT AND SWEET!



O Widow Mysie, smiling soft and sweet
O Mysie buxom as a sheaf of wheat!
O Mysie, widow Mysie, late Monroe
Foul fall the traitor face that served me so!
O Mysie Love, a second time a bride,
I pity him who tosses at your side-
Who took, by honied smiles and speech misled,
A beauteous bush of brambles to his bed!
