Mary, Pity Women! Comments

Kurt Weill set this to music in " The Threepenny Opera" . The choruses make a haunting song.

very nice poem and very deep........

Its in a cockney accent, Shes contemplating her ruination while looking at his photograph.Some things change, for better or for worse.

The tone of it makes one want to laugh at this woman and comfort her all at the same time. 'Mary, pity women' indeed! !

One of Kiplings best. Captured the cockney beautifully, and the plaint is pure Victorian. Ngaio Beck

I THINK THAT THAT POEM WAS THE STUPIDEST POEM I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE REALLY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
