You and I

Edna Wahlert McCourt

A Wife speaks:
WE were wild birds soaring

To reach the sky!

The gray wind lifted you like a feather—

I ceased to fly.

We were fast streams flowing

To find the sea!

The brown earth carved for you a channel,

But none for me.

We were young plants growing

To brave the cold!

The gold sun kissed you all the winter—

I am old.
