The humor of a woman.html">woman to be noticed
Are you so unscathed yet as to infer
Or a man-child, has wet shoes on his feet
The last eclipse of her tranquillity?
I shall not have to make you tell me lies
I see now that I may.html">may have had for nothing
When I laid open for your contemplation
The fault was not yours wholly. Search again
And you may chance upon the price of havoc
That shine and have no light -- yet once were stars,
They seem; and they are cold, I fear, for you.
Be cold again for me until I die;
There is a love.html">love.html">love that ceases to be love
You that are sure that you know everything
Well? . . . You are not even interested.
Once on a far off time when I was young,
That I had undergone the last and worst
The sun with him and woke me up with it,
I tried to dream of him, but never could,
Their fond uncertainty when Eve began
Are not yet weary of. One scene of it
And that was while I was the happiest
Somewhere in history but not on earth,
Rain down like diamonds. Then there were clouds,
Despair came, like a blast that would have brought
And love was done. That was how much I knew.
This afternoon. Out of this rain, I hope.
At last, when I had seen so many days
Go by me that I would not always count them,
Or so it seemed; and when I looked again,
And then there was a woman. I, who had come
By the old hidden road that has no name, --
So much that others fly from without seeing,
And after that, when I had read the story
The bleeding wound of their necessity,
And flown away from him, I should have lost
.
