BY WAY OF EXPLANATION by VIRGINIA A. ALLIN

First Line: I KNOW YOU DO NOT LOVE ME
Last Line: BEHOLD, THE PASSION IN A TURNIP.
Subject(s): LOVE; PASSION;
I know you do not love me;
Yet you storm and swear that such is but a lie
That 'tis I who have no love for you.
I will rephrase your words.
The thing you love, loves you not,
For a body without benefit of soul or mind
Is become vegetable ...
Behold, the passion in a turnip.
