Explore "My Wife's Second Husband" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The world goes round, old fellow, / And still I'm in the swim, / While my wife's second husband / Is growing old and grim. / I meet him in the city -- / It all seems very tame -- / He glances at me sometimes / As if I were to blame.
Oh, my wife's second husband / Was handsome, young and true; / He had his boyish visions / (I had my visions too). / He made a model lover -- / The greenest in the game -- / They say, when I was married / That I was just the same.
