T
Before one is on with the new
Has somehow passed into a proverb—
But I never have found it true.
Whate’er may be said for the new—
And if you dismiss me, my darling,
You may come to this thinking, too.
And the fickle and wavering told
To be sure they’re on with the new love
Before they are off with the old?
