Ellis Parker Butler (Эллис Паркер Батлер)

Anticipation

I hold her letter as I stand,
  Nor break the seal; no need to guess
What dainty little female hand
  Penned this most delicate address.

The scented seal—I break it not,
  But stand in stormy revery;
I tremble as I wonder what
  She who penned this will say to me.

I wonder what my wife will say
  If so it be she e’er shall know
I only mailed her note today—
  It should have gone two weeks ago!

1. To G. M. W. and G. F. W.
2. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
3. To Kate (In Lieu of a Valentine)
4. To Phyllis and May
5. The Golf Walk
