A Woman Loves Me

by (1882–1940)

Listen in the reader

A woman loves me! 'Tis not of her I sing whose womb has been The primal cradle of my tender self; I mean not mother-love.

A woman loves me! 'Tis not of her I sing who also sprang From that same source whence also I have sprung; I mean not sister-love.

A woman loves me! I sing of her who "from the mobs of life" Has chosen me as him to whom alone She will unlock her body and her soul To welcome all my love.
