One of the Unfair Sex + 

She stood at the ticket-seller’s + 

Serenely removing her glove, + 

While hundreds of strugglers and yellers, + 

And some that were good at a shove, + 

Were clustered behind her like bats in + 

a cave and dissembling their love. + 

At night she still stood at that window + 

Endeavoring her money to reach; + 

The crowds in her rear, how they sinned⁠—O, + 

How dreadfully sinned in their speech! + 

Ten miles and a fraction extended their + 

line, the historians teach. + 

She stands there to-day⁠—legislation + 

Has failed to remove her. The trains + 

No longer pull up at that station; + 

And over the ghastly remains + 

Of the army that waited and died of old + 

age fall the snows and the rains. + 
