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.)

So be happy to even experienced emotions whether it be good or bad. Rafael Herrera from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
