THE ANSWER by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: YOU WILL NOT CHANGE?' MY DEAR, FOR THIS
Last Line: HIS FALSEHOOD FALSE, HIS CHANGE DECAY.
Subject(s): CHANGE; LOVE;

"YOU will not change?" My dear, for this
Love goes in silence all the day.
Shall I without him answer Nay?
No word of his
Is mine to say.
So sure in heaven, so far away,
So fixed, so free his honour is,
He surely may
Be true to go, or true to stay,
Though all the blind should read amiss
His falsehood false, his change decay.
