Mary
She walks in
With the daylight,
Wearing easy smile;
Who knew sin
Could shine so bright,
Cover up such guile?
Raven tresses
Grace her neck,
Glisten in moonlight;
Cotton dresses
Her figure deck,
Enhancing all eyesight!
Now she’s gone
For good, I think,
Leaving me behind;
Heartsick pawn,
I take to drink—
Love can be unkind!
