I have album of color Purple
There're Purple my verses pinned,
It's all wretched, like a spinster-turtle,
Like are wretched all my bygone sins.
In my album of Purple color
All my friends of the old are kept:
All the grief and the joy, and valor,
All of those who cannot be swept.
And my Album of Purple's pampered,
Very thoroughly - can you believe,
I am wiping it with my tattered
Cloth of killed and decaying dream...
