THE BEST NAME by RAY CLARKE ROSE

First Line: WHEN WRITING VERSES, DEAR, TO YOU
Last Line: YOU BEAR, I STILL MUST CALL YOU MINE.
Subject(s): MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; NAMES; WRITING & WRITERS; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;

When writing verses, dear, to you,
As swains enamored often do,
No matter then what name I use
To keep you in a fair disguise
From idly prying public eyes,
There is one privilege I choose:
Whatever name, or famed or fine,
You bear, I still must call you Mine.
