BITTER WORDS.
Reading edition
WRITTEN FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE,
BY R. H. STODDARD.
Bitter words are easy spoken; Not so easily forgot; Hearts it may be can be broken— Mine cannot! When thou lovest me I adore thee; Hating, I can hate thee too; But I will not bow before thee— Will not sue! Even now, without endeavor, Thou hast wounded so my pride, I could leave thee, and for ever— Though I died!
