Part Three: Love
XVI
|
| I M wife; I ve finished that, | |
| That other state; | |
| I m Czar, I m woman now: | |
| It s safer so. | |
| |
| How odd the girls life looks | 5 |
| Behind this soft eclipse! | |
| I think that earth seems so | |
| To those in heaven now. | |
| |
| This being comfort, then | |
| That other kind was pain; | 10 |
| But why compare? | |
| I m wife! stop there! | |
