WHEN LOVELY WOMAN
by: Phoebe Cary (1824-1871)
- HEN lovely
woman wants a favor,
- And finds, too late, that man won't bend,
- What earthly circumstance can save her
- From disappointment in the end?
-
- The only way to bring him over
- The last experiment to try,
- Whether a husband or a lover,
- If he have feeling, is, to cry!
