Love

Oh, is it Love?

by Amy Levy 1861–1889

From A London Plane-Tree, and Other Verse

Love

O Is it Love or is it Fame,
This thing for which I sigh?
Or has it then no earthly name
For men to call it by?

I know not what can ease my pains,
Nor what it is I wish;
The passion at my heart-strings strains
Like a tiger in a leash.
