MORALITY

Give me the lifted skirt,

And the brave ways of wrong,

The fist, the dagger and the sword,

And the out-spoken song.

Ah! bring me not the love

That bargains, bids and buys:

For so much loving I will give

So much in lips and eyes;

But love with bosom bared,

Sweet as a bird and wild,

That in her savage maidenhood

Cries for a little child.
