Three Sisters
In England there is a town called Leicester; in London there is a square by that name; in the square daily stand three sisters — the girls are known to everyone .
The youngest sells flowers, the middle one sells shoe laces, and late at night comes the eldest, who sells herself .
Both the younger ones look at the eldest without hate, for all the three girls despise the world and the town and the street .
And yet when the two young ones come to the nest they call a home — they moisten strings and flowers with tears that remain hidden .
