Parted [She wrapped her soul in a lace of lies]

Title:     Parted [She wrapped her soul in a lace of lies]
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by 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.

[The end]
Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem: Parted [She wrapped her soul in a lace of lies]
