ROBERT F. MORROW

Dear man! although a stranger and a foe / To soft affection's humanizing glow; / Although untaught how manly hearts may throb / With more desires than the desire to rob; / Although as void of tenderness as wit, / And owning nothing soft but Maurice Schmitt; / Although polluted, shunned and in disgrace, / You fill me with a passion to embrace! / Attentive to your look, your smile, your beck, / I watch and wait to fall upon your neck.
