Assault

Title:     Assault
Author: Edna St Vincent Millay [More Titles by Millay]

I

I had forgotten how the frogs must sound
After a year of silence, else I think
I should not so have ventured forth alone
At dusk upon this unfrequented road.

II

I am waylaid by Beauty. Who will walk
Between me and the crying of the frogs?
Oh, savage Beauty, suffer me to pass,
That am a timid woman, on her way
From one house to another!

[The end]
Edna St Vincent Millay's poem: Assault
