The Lady Poverty Poem by Evelyn Underhill

The Lady Poverty

Rating: ★2.7


I met her on the Umbrian hills,
Her hair unbound, her feet unshod:
As one whom secret glory fills
She walked, alone with God.

I met her in the city street:
Oh, changed was all her aspect then!
With heavy eyes and weary feet
She walked alone, with men.
