Edna St. Vincent Millay - If I Should Learn, In Some Quite Casual Way
Work rating: Medium

	If I should learn, in some quite casual way,  
	   That you were gone, not to return again—  
	Read from the back-page of a paper, say,  
	   Held by a neighbor in a subway train,  
	How at the corner of this avenue        
	   And such a street (so are the papers filled)  
	A hurrying man—who happened to be you—  
	   At noon to-day had happened to be killed,  
	I should not cry aloud—I could not cry  
	   Aloud, or wring my hands in such a place—        
	I should but watch the station lights rush by  
	   With a more careful interest on my face,  
	Or raise my eyes and read with greater care  
	Where to store furs and how to treat the hair.
