BLONDE or brunette? Shall Ethel fair, My winter girl, with golden hair, Or Maud, whose dark brown eyes bewitch, -- My summer girl, -- now govern? Which? Shall cold Bostonianism rule?

I want no statue in a niche, So Cupid says, "Let Maud be 'Which!'" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAT LADY by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE BOOK OF STONES AND LILIES by AMY LOWELL THE MIDDLETON PLACE by AMY LOWELL IN THE UNDERWORLD by ISAAC ROSENBERG REALITY REQUIRES by WISLAWA SZYMBORSKA THE WISE WOMAN by SARA TEASDALE |
