Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 10

​
X A DIFFERENCE
"First" in my heart? Why, she is all my heart.    There is no other;Tho' I in her esteem have but a part,    And many a brother.
"First" in my love? I have no other love    Nor recollection.Yet many names are writ my name above    In her affection.
"First" in my life? Tell me that she must die—    My life is over!Tell her that I am dead—she'll give a sigh    For her old lover.
