The Woman I Am
THE WOMAN I AM
HIDES DEEP IN ME
BENEATH THE WOMAN
I SEE TO BE.
SHE HIDES AWAY
FROM THE STRANGER'S EYE
SHE IS NOT KNOWN
TO THE PASSERS-BY
SHE GOES HER WAY.
THE WOMAN I SEEM.
BUT THE WOMAN I AM.
WITHDRAWS TO DREAM!
THE WOMAN I SEEM
GOES CARELESSLY-
WHEN LOVES GOES BY
DOES NOT SEEM TO SEE.
BUT THE WOMAN I AM
KNOW SUDDEN FEAR...
AND HIDES MORE DEEPLY
WHEN LOVES DRAWS NEAR!
FOR LOVE MIGHT LOOK CLOSELY
PERHAPS ... AND SEE
HER BENEATH THE WOMAN
I SEEM TO BE!
