HER TRIUMPH

She lured him with her witching smiles,
She hummed sweet songs for him to hear
with all a woman's cunning wiles
She made him hope and made him fear,
She made him follow where she led,
She made him plead, and answered no;
One moment causing him to dread,
The next she set his heart aglow.
Her eyes with tears were often dim.
She often trembled, often sighed;
At last she made fool of him,
And then she dropped him. satisfied.
