Intuition

By Mary Carolyn Davies


MY lover has no lute to sing to me,
My lover has no song to mark me fair;
His lips are strong and silent utterly,
He lays no foolish kiss upon my hair.

My lover does not hold within his eyes,	5
Where all may see, a torch of love aglow.
No tears he gives to me, nor any sighs.
My lover speaks not, but I know, I know!
