hey im new to the foroums this comes from brownings Sonnets from the
Portuguese,,i hope you enjoy it
And wilt thou have me fashion into speech
The love I bear thee, finding words eough,
And hold the torch out, while the winds are rough,
Between our faces, to cast light on each?
I drop it at thy feet. I cannot teach
My hand to hold my spirit so far off
From myself-me-that I should bring thee proof
In words, of love hid in me out of reach.
Nay, let the silence of my womenhood
Commend my woman-love to thy belief,-
Seeing that i stand unwon, however wooed,
And rend the garment of my life, in brief,
By a most dauntless, voiceless fortitude,
Lest one touch of this heart convey its grief.
