Earlier Poems (1830-1836) is a classic early American poetry collection by Oliver Wendell Holmes. MY aunt! my dear unmarried aunt! Long years have o'er her flown; Yet still she strains the aching clasp That binds her virgin zone; I know it hurts her, --though she looks As cheerful as she can; Her waist is ampler than her life, For life is but a span.
