Sometimes With One I Love

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

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.)
