A poem by Ambrose Bierce

Not Guilty

________________________________________________
Title:     Not Guilty
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

"I saw your charms in another's arms,"
Said a Grecian swain with his blood a-boil;
"And he kissed you fair as he held you there,
A willing bird in a serpent's coil!"

The maid looked up from the cinctured cup
Wherein she was crushing the berries red,
Pain and surprise in her honest eyes--
"It was only one o' those gods," she said.







[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Not Guilty
