| 1583. Loves Change |
| | | By Anne Reeve Aldrich |
| |
| |
| I WENT to dig a grave for Love, | |
| But the earth was so stiff and cold | |
| That, though I strove through the bitter night, | |
| I could not break the mould. | |
| |
| And I said: Must he lie in my house in state, | 5 |
| And stay in his wonted place? | |
| Must I have him with me another day, | |
| With that awful change in his face? | |
