LEAVE-TAKING, by MARY L. VIGER
First Line: Was I trembling? / it could have been the wind
Last Line: Was I trembling?
Subject(s): Love

Was I trembling?
It could have been the wind.
It could have been the beauty of the night.
It could have been the coming spring.
It was none of these.
It was your mouth near mine.
It was the many things I had to say.
It was my love for you, much dearer, for the moment, than myself.
Was I trembling?
