Sometimes with One I Love by Walt Whitman Sometimes with one I love I fill myself with rage for     fear I effuse unreturn'd love, But now I think there is no unreturn'd love, the pay     is certain one way or another, (I loved a certain person ardently and my love was     not return'd, Yet out of that I have written these songs.)

I scald alone...

The Letter by Amy Lowell   Little cramped words scrawling all over the paper Like draggled fly's legs, What can you tell of the flaring moon Through the oak leaves? Or of my uncertain window and the bare floor Spattered with moonlight? Your silly quirks and twists have nothing in them Of blossoming hawthorns, And this paper is dull, crisp, smooth, virgin of loveliness Beneath my hand. I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against The want of you; Of squeezing it into little inkdrops, And posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire Of the great moon.
