DENIAL.
WHEN some new love in my warm soul is born
Then swift I seek a token fair and meet
That may unblamed thy blessed vision greet;
Whether it be a rose, not bloodless torn
From that June tree which hideth many a thorn,
Or but a simple, loving message, sweet
With summer's heart and mine: these at thy feet
I passionate fling -but all with maiden scorn
Alike thou spurnest. What to thee is sign,
Who dost deny the thing wherefor it.stands!
Then I seem foolish in my sight and thine,
As one who eager proffers empty hands.
Thou only callest these my gifts unfine,
While men are praising them in distant lands.
