Explore "Song of Fortune" by Kahlil Gibran on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Man and I are sweethearts / He craves me and I long for him, / But alas! / Between us has appeared a rival who brings us misery. / She is cruel and demanding, / Possessing empty lure.
Her name is Substance. / She follows wherever we go / And watches like a sentinel, / Bringing restlessness to my lover.
