Opal Song
Reading edition
Shy and wild . . . shy and wild To my lovers I have been. Frank and wayward as a child, Strange and secret as a queen; Fain of love, and love beguiled, Yet afraid of love, I ween! False and true . . . false and true Is the woman’s heart in me . . . Fair lost faces that I rue, Golden friends I laugh to see, Changing, I come back to you, Never doubt my loyalty!
