Rearrange a "Wife's" Affection! When they dislocate my Brain! Amputate my freckled Bosom! Make me bearded like a man! Blush, my spirit, in thy Fastness - Blush, my unacknowledged clay - Seven years of troth have taught thee More than Wifehood every may!
Love that never leaped it's socket - Trust intrenched in narrow pain - Constancy thro' fire - awarded - Anguish - bare of anodyne!
Burden - borne so far triumphant - None suspect me of the crown, For I wear the "Thorns" till Sunset - Then - my Diadem put on.
Big my Secret but it's bandaged - It will never get away Till the Day it's Weary Keeper Leads it through the Grave to thee.
