THE LADY VISITOR IN THE PAUPER WARD

Why do you break upon this old, cool peace,

This painted peace of ours,

With harsh dress hissing like a flock of geese,

With garish flowers?

Why do you churn smooth waters rough again,

Selfish old Skin-and-bone?

Leave us to quiet dreaming and slow pain,

Leave us alone.
