INDECISION
Reading edition
DO I love her? Dimpling red lips at me pouting, Dimpling shoulders at me flouting; No, I don’t! Do I love her? ’Prisoned in those crystal eyes Purity forever lies; Yes, I do! Do I love her? Little, wild and wilful fiction, Teasing, torturing contradiction; No, I don’t! Do I love her? With kind acts and sweet words she Aids and comforts poverty; Yes, I do! Do I love her? Quick she puts her cuirass on, Stabs with laughter, stings with scorn; No, I don’t! Do I love her? No! Then to my arms she flies, Filling me with glad surprise; Ah, yes I do! Anonymous.
