SURRENDER
As I look back upon your first embrace
I understand why from your sudden
touch
Angered I sprang, and struck you in the face.
You asked at once too
little and too much.
But now that of my spirit you require
Love's very
soul that unto death endures,
Crown as you will the cup of your desire -
I
am all yours.
Amelia Josephine Burr [1878-
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
