My Lady Surrenders

Anna Wickham

HOW did She abdicate?

Was it with soft sighs,

And pretty feignings of a lover’s state?

Or was it solemn-wise,

With altar offerings and rapt vows?

Oh, no!—when Love himself was there

Most housewifely she bound her hair,

And was off across the fields to milk the cows.
