Let-‘s Not Torture Ourselves, Any More
We-‘re Our Own Jailers! Our Own Prey
We-‘re Getting Paler Every-Day
Are Not We Working-Out At Things?
There Is, One Way; An-‘ The Only Way
Let-‘s Not Torture Ourselves, Any More
It Would Have Been Good; If You Wept?
And Then, On Some One’s Bosom Slept?
I Was By Your Side, Expecting
I Might Be -Ë—one-‘, That Got Enrapt?
But No! I Was Not The Choicest -Ë—one-‘
Sat Shut! And, Pined Right To My Core
Let-‘s Not Torture Ourselves, Any More
Next Morning Too, I Found You Sad
Your Lips Were Clouded, Not Brick-Red
Your Child-Like Face, Wore Smoky Shades
I Felt, Some Luster, You Have Shed?
Some-Thing Pined Me: Some-Where, Deep-In
But, I Could Not Use, Self-‘s Sure Cure
Let-‘s Not Torture Ourselves, Any More
Then, Time Passed By: And, Came Day Third
There Was Some Change!‚  And, I Was Heard
We Sat, Quite Near-By, Hand-In-Hand
We Ate At Length; And, Drank Our Curd
New Dawn Knocks Now At Door, For Us
We Might Gain Back, What-‘s Lost Before
Let-‘s Not Torture Ourselves, Any More
