Witch-Wife

By

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950).

SHE is neither pink nor pale,
And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her mouth on a valentine.

She has more hair than she needs;        
In the sun ’tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.

She loves me all that she can,
And her ways to my ways resign;     
But she was not made for any man,
And she never will be all mine.

"she never will be all mine"
