Love
Proud Word You Never Spoke, but You Will Speak
From Imaginary Conversations and Poems: A Selection
LoveThe Mind
Proud word you never spoke, but you will speak
Four not exempt from pride some future day.
Resting on one white hand a warm wet cheek
Over my open volume you will say,
'This man loved me!' then rise and trip away.
