TO A RICH YOUNG WIDOW by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I WILL NOT ASK IF THOU CANST TOUCH
Last Line: "ENOUGH FOR ME, LOVE, IF THOU STILL / CANST DRAW THY DIVIDENDS!"
Subject(s): WOMEN;
I will not ask if thou canst touch
The tuneful ivory key?
Those silent notes of thine are such
As quite suffice for me.

I'll make no question if thy skill
The pencil comprehends,
Enough for me, love, if thou still
Canst draw thy dividends!
