EXCULPATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Wilt thou dare to blame the woman
Last Line: Woman wavers but to seek him -- is not then the fault in thee?
Subject(s): Selfishness; Women


WILT thou dare to blame the woman for her seeming sudden changes,
Swaying east and swaying westward, as the breezes shake the tree?
Fool! thy selfish thought misguides thee -- find the man that never ranges;
Woman wavers but to seek him -- Is not then the fault in thee?
