“We talked as Girls do-“

We talked as Girls do—

Fond, and late—

We speculated fair, on every subject, but the Grave—

Of ours, none affair—

We handled Destinies, as cool—

As we—Disposers—be—

And God, a Quiet Party

To our Authority—

But fondest, dwelt upon Ourself

As we eventual—be—

When Girls to Women, softly raised

We—occupy—Degree—

We parted with a contract

To cherish, and to write

But Heaven made both, impossible

Before another night.
