A poem by Ambrose Bierce

An Example

________________________________________________
Title:     An Example
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

They were two deaf mutes, and they loved and they
Resolved to be groom and bride;
And they listened to nothing that any could say,
Nor ever a word replied.

From wedlock when warned by the married men,
Maintain an invincible mind:
Be deaf and dumb until wedded--and then
Be deaf and dumb and blind.






[The end]
