FROM THE HEADBOARD OF A GRAVE IN PARAGUAY
A troth, and a grief, and a blessing,
Disguised them and came this way,—
And one was a promise, and one was a doubt,
And one was a rainy day.
Disguised them and came this way,—
And one was a promise, and one was a doubt,
And one was a rainy day.
And they met betimes with this maiden,—
And the promise it spake and lied,
And the doubt it gibbered and hugged itself,
And the rainy day—she died.
And the promise it spake and lied,
And the doubt it gibbered and hugged itself,
And the rainy day—she died.
