Parted

    By Paul Laurence Dunbar



    She wrapped her soul in a lace of lies,
    With a prime deceit to pin it;
    And I thought I was gaining a fearsome prize,
    So I staked my soul to win it.

    We wed and parted on her complaint,
    And both were a bit of barter,
    Tho' I'll confess that I'm no saint,
    I'll swear that she's no martyr.
