We talked as Girls do --

We talked as Girls do -- Fond, and late -- We speculated fair, on every subject, but the Grave -- Of ours, none affair --

We handled Destinies, as cool -- As we -- Disposers -- be -- And God, a Quiet Party To our Authority --

But fondest, dwelt upon Ourself As we eventual -- be -- When Girls to Women, softly raised We -- occupy -- Degree --

We parted with a contract To cherish, and to write But Heaven made both, impossible Before another night.
