'Tis customary as we part
A trinket—to confer—
It helps to stimulate the faith
When Lovers be afar—

'Tis various—as the various taste—
Clematis—journeying far—
Presents me with a single Curl
Of her Electric Hair—

    Just read "'Tis customary as we part" and eh, not really feeling it. Kinda hard to grasp what poet was getting at. Guess it's not my cup of tea 😕, probably won't be revisiting this one.
