To an Unfortunate Woman whom the Author had known in the days of her Innocence.

by Sara Teasdale · 1797 · Loss & Grief
Ah, fallen maid! whose innocence so bright,
Hath yielded now, to passion's fiery sway,
Dost thou recall, that pure and blessed light,
That graced thy soul, in youth's unclouded day?
