Explore "False" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
False! Good God, I am dreaming! / No, no, it never can be -- / You who are so true in seeming, / You, false to your vows and me? / My wife and my fair boy's mother / The star of my life -- my queen -- / To yield herself to another / Like some light Magdalene!
Proofs! what are proofs -- I defy them! / They never can shake my trust; / If you look in my face and deny them / I will trample them into the dust. / For whenever I read of the glory / Of the realms of Paradise, / I sought for the truth of the story / And found it in your sweet eyes.
