ALONE
I did not seek a gilded shrine alofi, _A secret place, remote as stars above, Wherein you worship me, a soul alone, An idol, half divine, apart from love. I am your inspiration, your ideal, You bow your head as to a deity, You seek no earthly mating, only kneel And worship from afar-and what of me? I crave the joys of friendship others know, The rich, full time of love, and mingled tears, . Sweet comradeship, and wedlock here below. Alas! The dreary remnant of the years-~ And you apart, afraid to venture moreIs barren, squandered, lost in chastity, And I, your idol, wilt, who would adore... Beloved! Hear me, rise, and come to me!
Oh Mack
