Fickleness of Maidens
Reading edition
"Good-bye," I said to Mary, To Margie, Maud and May; And I put them from me harshly And turned myself away. For my all in all was Maizie— I swore it on that day. But time came when my spirit Grew weary of its pace, And I cried, "Come back, dear ex-ones, I'm sick of just one face!" But they replied, "We cannot, Another has your place."
(After Dunbar)
