Edwin Arlington Robinson - The Tree in Pamela`s Garden
Work rating: Low

Pamela was too gentle to deceive  
Her roses. “Let the men stay where they are,”  
She said, “and if Apollo’s avatar  
Be one of them, I shall not have to grieve.”  
And so she made all Tilbury Town believe
She sighed a little more for the North Star  
Than over men, and only in so far  
As she was in a garden was like Eve.  
  
Her neighbors—doing all that neighbors can  
To make romance of reticence meanwhile— 
Seeing that she had never loved a man,  
Wished Pamela had a cat, or a small bird,  
And only would have wondered at her smile  
Could they have seen that she had overheard.
