OF FIRE AND DESIRE

Fate Hath No Fury Like A Love Forlorned

Though I’ve tipped on lightly laden clouds of Late

And pondered destruction by ice and fire;

Still I’ve found not a Fury quite like the Fate

Set to flame, by my Love, my desire.

But if I must parish thrice,

I think I know enough of You

To say that for destruction Fire

Is oh so great

and you, my one Desire.
