"Witch-Wife" Edna St Vincent Millay


 
"SHE is neither pink nor pale,
    And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
    And her mouth on a valentine.
 
She has more hair than she needs;        5
    In the sun ’tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
    Or steps leading into the sea.
 
She loves me all that she can,
    And her ways to my ways resign;        10
But she was not made for any man,
    And she never will be all mine."

XOXO
