3. Mrs. Williams - written by Edgar Lee Masters

I was the milliner
Talked about, lied about,

After coming home from the mill,

I.
The poem is important, but
not more than the people
whose survival it serves,
one of the necessities, so they may
speak what is true, and have
the patience for beauty: the weighted
grainfield, the shady street,

IT’S going to come out all right—do you know?
