Edna St. Vincent Millay - DepartureEdna St. Vincent Millay - Departure
Work rating: Medium


  It`s little I care what path I take,   And where it leads it`s little I care;   But out of this house, lest my heart break,   I must go, and off somewhere.   It`s little I know what`s in my heart,   What`s in my mind it`s little I know,   But there`s that in me must up and start,   And it`s little I care where my feet go.   I wish I could walk for a day and a night,   And find me at dawn in a desolate place   With never the rut of a road in sight,   Nor the roof of a house, nor the eyes of a face.   I wish I could walk till my blood should spout,   And drop me, never to stir again,   On a shore that is wide, for the tide is out,   And the weedy rocks are bare to the rain.   But dump or dock, where the path I take   Brings up, it`s little enough I care;   And it`s little I`d mind the fuss they`ll make,   Huddled dead in a ditch somewhere.   "Is something the matter, dear," she said,    "That you sit at your work so silently?"    "No, mother, no, `twas a knot in my thread.    There goes the kettle, I`ll make the tea."
