ANY WIFE, by ALBERTINE H. MILLER First Line: It is the small familiar things that hurt Last Line: So faulty and so human, but so dear. Subject(s): Human Behavior; Conduct Of Life; Human Nature | ||||||||
It is the small familiar things that hurt -- Your garden hat behind the kitchen door; The muddied shoes still standing by the sill: Your old dog stretched full-length upon the floor. Your gay disorder vexed me once, I know. But now if I could wipe that record clear, I'd cancel out each small impatient frown And have you still as once I had you here, So faulty and so human, but so dear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL END OF THE WORLD by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE ANSWER by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS TIME OF DISTURBANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV CHAMBER MUSIC: 21 by JAMES JOYCE |
