INDIFFERENCE. 
Take back tby flowers and billet-doux, 
Tby sonnets and thy rhymes; 
To burn them all I’ve half resolved 
A dozen of different times. 
So much waste paper lying round— 
So many withered herbs— 
I’m sure the very sight of them 
My quietude disturbs. 
Thou knowest well I little care 
For gifts like these from thee; 
'Tis love alone gives worth to such— 
And thou hast none from me. 
'Twas the doubt that thou wert false that wrung my 
heart with pain ; 
But now I know thy perfidy, I shall be well again ; 
I would proclaim thee as thou art, but every maiden 
knows 
That she who chides her lover, forgives him ere he 
goes. 
Bryant.
