Poem: Apocalypse

Apocalypse

 I'm wife; I've finished that, That other state; I'm Czar, I'm woman now: It's safer so.  How odd the girl's life looks Behind this soft eclipse! I think that earth seems so To those in heaven now.  This being comfort, then That other kind was pain; But why compare? I'm wife! stop there!
