¡¡¡¡by Edgar Lee Masters
¡¡¡¡I am Minerva£¬ the village poetess£¬
¡¡¡¡Hooted at£¬ jeered at by the Yahoos of the street
¡¡¡¡For my heavy body£¬ cock-eye£¬ and rolling walk£¬
¡¡¡¡And all the more when "Butch" Weldy
¡¡¡¡Captured me after a brutal hunt.
¡¡¡¡He left me to my fate with Doctor Meyers£»
¡¡¡¡And I sank into death£¬ growing numb from the feet up£¬
¡¡¡¡Like one stepping deeper and deeper into a stream of ice.
¡¡¡¡Will some one go to the village newspaper£¬
¡¡¡¡And gather into a book the verses I wrote£¿
¡¡¡¡I thirsted so for love£¡
¡¡¡¡I hungered so for life£¡
