And Yet I Have Seen Thee Happy With Me
by [?]


And yet I have seen thee happy with me
I am no fool
To poll stupidly into iron.
I have heard your quick breaths
And seen your arms writhe toward me;
At those times
–God help us–
I was impelled to be a grand knight,
And swagger and snap my fingers,
And explain my mind finely.
Oh, lost sweetheart,
I would that I had not been a grand knight.
I said: “Sweetheart.”
Thou said’st: “Sweetheart.”
And we preserved an admirable mimicry
Without heeding the drip of the blood
From my heart.
