A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Dorothy Parker

Let another cross his way—
  She’s the one will do the weeping!
Little need I fear he’ll stray
  Since I have his heart in keeping—

Let another hail him dear—
  Little chance that he’ll forget me!
Only need I curse and fear
  Her he loved before he met me.

What are tags?
