Sometimes with One I Love

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Whitman, Walt
Open passage
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.)
