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.)
