poets - enjoy! The Tree In Pamela's Garden
<< A Poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson >>
Pamela was too gentle to deceive
Her roses. 'Let the men stay where they are,'
She said, 'and if Apollo's avatar
Be one of them, I shall not have to grieve.'
And so she made all Tilbury Town believe
She sighed a little more for the North Star
Than over men, and only in so far
As she was in a garden was like Eve.
Her neighbors-doing all that neighbors can
To make romance of reticence meanwhile-
Seeing that she had never loved a man,
Wished Pamela had a cat, or a small bird,
And only would have wondered at her smile
Could they have seen that she had overheard.
