A Woman's Love

Topics: classic

I am not blind I understand;     I see him loyal, good, and wise,     I feel decision in his hand,     I read his honour in his eyes.     Manliest among men is he     With every gift and grace to clothe him;     He never loved a girl but me —     And I I loathe him! loathe him!     The other! Ah! I value him     Precisely at his proper rate,     A creature of caprice and whim,     Unstable, weak, importunate.     His thoughts are set on paltry gain —     You only tell me what I see —     I know him selfish, cold and vain;     But, oh! he's all the world to me!
