Anticipation
By Amy Lowell
 
I HAVE been temperate always,
But I am like to be very drunk
With your coming.
There have been times
I feared to walk down the street        5
Lest I should reel with the wine of you,
And jerk against my neighbors
As they go by.
I am parched now, and my tongue is horrible in my mouth,
But my brain is noisy        10
With the clash and gurgle of filling wine-cups.
