The Stain.An ugly one; Black, blotched with Dirty yellow, dingy red, A hideous sight. How stubbornly is stands. I've tried to bleach it in snow and sun, And weathered it in rain. Yet it is there. Dyed fast in the fabric, A maddening thing to me . . . Yet I am told what others see Is handsome variegated silk. __Mary Edmonds. |
