Sometimes With One I Love

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.)
