LONELINESS
13 lines✦
_Her Word_) One ought not to have to careSo much as you and ICare when the birds come round the houseTo seem to say good-bye; Or care so much when they come backWith whatever it is they sing;The truth being we are as muchToo glad for the one thing As we are too sad for the other here--With birds that fill their breastsBut with each other and themselvesAnd their built or driven nests.
