Love
The End of It
From New Poems (1897): A Narrow Vessel
Love
SHE did not love to love; but hated him
For making her to love, and so her whim
From passion taught misprision to begin;
And all this sin
Was because love to cast out had no skill
Self, which was regent still.
Her own self-will made void her own self’s will
