LINES TO A PHILANDERER, by                    
First Line: Your voice no longer holds the power ... Thrill
Last Line: I learned, at least, five others had a copy.
Subject(s): Voices


Your voice no longer holds the power to thrill:
Once, lure of all the world was in each tone,
Each love-fraught word. I never had my fill
Because I thought they were for me alone.
I learned, at least, five others had a copy.

Just like a lovely dress, once dearly-prized:
I thought it, too, was made for me alone;
Now cast aside, although not quite despised,
Limp hangs its faded beauty, gone its tone.
I learned, at least, five others had a copy.
