Alternate Author Name(s): Hepburn, Patrick, Mrs.
Subject(s): Desire; Love
I was so chill, and overworn, and sad,
To be a lady was the only joy I had.
I walked the street as silent as a mouse,
Buying fine clothes, and fittings for the house.
But since I saw my love
I wear a simple dress,
And happily I move
Forgetting weariness.
