I ’M wife; I ’ve finished that,      

That other state;             

I ’m Czar, I ’m woman now:        

It ’s safer so.     

 

How odd the girl’s life looks       

Behind this soft eclipse!              

I think that earth seems so         

To those in heaven now.             

 

This being comfort, then             

That other kind was pain;                  

But why compare?         

I ’m wife! stop there!
