Sometimes with One I Love. - A poem by Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman - Sometimes with One I Love.

SOMETIMES with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn’d love; 
But now I think there is no unreturn’d love—the pay is certain, one way or another; 
(I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return’d; 
Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)

Calamus Year: Published/Written in 1900 Poem of the Day: Jan 17 2009 Comment 5 of 5, added on February 6th, 2006 at 6:20 PM. what he is saying is he loved a girl but she did not love him, but without the love, pain, and emotional differnce, there would be nothing to write about. So be happy to even experienced emotions whether it be good or bad. Rafael Herrera from United States Comment 4 of 5, added on September 27th, 2005 at 7:44 PM. I absolutely love this poem. It has so much hidden meaning that I don't even know what is lying beneath. Katy from United States Comment 3 of 5, added on July 26th, 2005 at 5:56 AM. This is my favourite poem. i heard it first when i was 14 and thought it's the most beautiful words i've ever heard. there's so much pain and love and gratefulness in it. And now i found the original text (i only heard it in translation to my language before). So thank you very much for sharing it on the web with us!!!
