Face to face beloved her I saw straight- And kidding it- airily edged twice With flaming sword to slash my gut to price This sin my taste for fleshless comfort mate; As I past cattle taxed on belly wait The wage of food and dust known to entice Beloved her to death, with rib for vice Ruling over that sin her taste for hate. And I tempt down my mouth and fall the same For furrowed brow as her for bearing pain In birthing souls that voice caught naked out. Now beloved her has everlasting fame As seeded bride to be a spirit lain In white to clothe our sin this taste of doubt.
