I have digested many bitter pills
Some of which are well-themed for today;
I would have told them to you anyway,
But now it seems appropriate, and fills
A useful void. There have been times that chills
Raced up my nerves to see the gentle way
A certain woman looked, or hear her say
The smallest word. Yet disenchantment kills
Such pleasures; and I have been disenchanted.
I have seen women like that turn from me
And love so many others, and I've been
Heartbroken more than once. And I have planted
Like seeds in others, which should be a sin:
I swear I did it accidentally.
