TO MY WIFE, by                    
First Line: I will be silent / e'en though her words
Last Line: There's no demur.
Alternate Author Name(s): Raiser, J. Edward
Subject(s): Marriage; Pain; Weddings; Husbands; Wives; Suffering; Misery


I will be silent
E'en though her words
Seem intent,
And her eyes --
Cold malignant.
'Twould only pain
A mistaking heart
To reply again,
Or thought impart --
So I kiss her
Tight pressed lips;
Thus save her from
More wordy slips
There's no demur.
