FASHION'S FOLLY, by S. W. CHAMBERLAIN First Line: I knew a maiden fair and sweet Last Line: Down over both her ears. Subject(s): Earrings | |||
I KNEW a maiden fair and sweet, Whom I had loved for years. At last one day I told her this, Although with many fears. At first she did not say a word, Then in a pleasant way She looked out to the west, and said: "It is a pleasant day." She had not heard a single word, She's told me since with tears; She wore her hair, as some girls will, Down over both her ears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UPON A CHERRYSTONE SENT ..
