I’m “wife”—I’ve finished that—

199
 
I’m “wife”—I’ve finished that—
That other state—
I’m Czar—I’m “Woman” now—
It’s safer so—
 
How odd the Girl’s life looks
Behind this soft Eclipse—
I think that Earth feels so
To folks in Heaven—now—
 
This being comfort—then
That other kind—was pain—
But why compare?
I’m “Wife”! Stop there!
