The Untamed

Carlyle F. McIntyre

OUT of my dream I wrought you; and your mouth

Was scarlet, the young body straight and fine,

Your soft eyes like full midnight of the south,

And every curve and flexure wholly mine.

But at my kiss you stirred; the deeps awoke

And pushed me strongly backward. Oh, the new,

The virginal, untamed one, whom no yoke

Could bind, nor make you to yourself untrue!
