Bound

Dorothy Dow

TAKE away the magic

You have put on me:

I am held by whispers—

I, who would be free.

I who would be free and false,

Why must I be true?

I fear to move, for hurting

The clinging thoughts of you.

So the sunny branches

Beckon me in vain:

I, beside the hearth-fire,

Huddle to my pain.
