First Line: I am free of love as a bird flying south in the autumn
Last Line: I am my lover's.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
I AM free of love as a bird flying south in the autumn,
Swift and intent, asking no joy from another,
Glad to forget all of the passion of April
Ere it was love-free.
I am free of love, and I listen to music lightly,
But if he returned, if he should look at me deeply,
I should awake, I should awake and remember
I am my lover's.
