Eve Started It
An Example of Periodical Verse
CAROLYN WELLS
EVE, did you know,—were you aware, When first you breathed the Eden air, Of all your lovely, living grace,
Your perfectness of form and face, The dusky glory of your hair?
And did you smile at A dam there, Conscious your beauty would ensnare? Had you of Vanity a trace? Eve, did you? No?
And did you, Eve, all laughing, dare To lure him on to mad despair?
Did you, like all your future race Lead poor, pursuing man a chase, And make him think your Vanity Fair? (Eve did, you know!)
