The Lady Visitor In The Pauper Ward

Title:     The Lady Visitor In The Pauper Ward
Author: Robert Graves [More Titles by Graves]

Why do you break upon this old, cool peace,
This painted peace of ours,
With harsh dress hissing like a flock of geese,
With garish flowers?
Why do you churn smooth waters rough again,
Selfish old skin-and-bone?
Leave us to quiet dreaming and slow pain,
Leave us alone.

[The end]
Robert Graves's poem: Lady Visitor In The Pauper Ward
