It is a very little thing To spoil a life . . . Anne is still unwed, who should Be Robert's wife And a mother. Her breast is deep And her heart not cold. She has outgrown the clumsiness Of ten-years-old When Robert gave her the queer nickname That clings so tight -- Blunder Betty, he calls her still. Her body, white, Slim, with the grace of a tree in wind, He does not see, Stupidly picturing her in his mind As she used to be. |
