About

Strumpet Song was written by Sylvia Plath in 1956. Following similar themes at the time, there is a sense of ‘anti-feminism’ versus feminism: notable are “Two Sisters of Persephone” and “Vanity Fair”, and “Tinker Jack and the Tidy Wives” written at the same time.

Strumpet Song Annotated

With white frost gone
And all green dreams not worth much,
After a lean day's work
Time comes round for that foul slut:
Mere bruit of her takes our street
Until every man,
Red, pale or dark,
Veers to her slouch.

Mark, I cry, that mouth
Made to do violence on,
That seamed face
Askew with blotch, dint, scar
Struck by each dour year.
Walks there not some such one man
As can spare breath
To patch with brand of love this rank grimace
Which out from black tarn, ditch and cup
Into my most chaste own eyes
Looks up.
