By. Charles Henry WebbWhat She Said about It
L
Dolores and Ethel and May;
Señoritas distant as Spain,
And damsels just over the way!
Of either Dolores and Jane,
Of some girl in an opposite flat,
Or in one of his castles in Spain.
Put aside for this profitless strain,
I sit the day darning his hose—
And he sings of Dolores and Jane.
With the pretty, when “spurning the plain,”
Should the team-work fall wholly on me
While he soars with Dolores and Jane?
But to lighten a little my life
Might the poet not spare me a strain—
Although I am only his wife!
