First Line: We that were friends to-night have found
Last Line: Who have no children at their knees.
Subject(s): Friendship; Love
We that were friends to-night have found
A fear, a secret, and a shame:
I am on fire with that soft sound
You make, in uttering my name.
Forgive a young and boastful man
Whom dreams delight and passions please,
And love me as great women can
Who have no children at their knees.
