Edna St. Vincent Millay

Witch

She is neither pink nor pale,
       And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
       And her mouth on a valentine.
 
She has more hair than she needs;
       In the sun 'tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of coloured beads,
       Or steps leading into the sea.
 
She loves me all that she can,
       And her ways to my ways resign;
But she was not made for any man,
       And she never will be all mine.
