She Sits Alone - POTD

The visitors arrive and I must bear Their comments are not that I really care. I stare at them as they would stare at me; Until they break the ice, act so beastly. Listen to their litany of abuse, "Look well, her eyes are closed, having a snooze?" "Isn't this an invert of a known painting?" "Nice auburn hair though she looks like fainting." "Not as good as Mona, now that's a dear." I cannot understand why they come here. They dare compare me to that wanton lass How many men know she was sick, alas? Finally, they leave except for one man. I know that I can return his love for me. If it were in my power down I'd come Leave this mural, on his lips and kiss him some. The painter draws our love and endeavour, Happy; we'll be each other forever.
