DECISION

In what role, dear one. will you cast me
Upon the stage Of your desire?
Shall the amusing jester be,
Or your tender of eternal fire?
Is the smile see meant alike for all
Who look on your bewitching face,
Or for me is it the exating call
To the haven of your embrace?
What shall expect from your response
To my constant pleading cry,
Consent to homage for the nonce
Or to love you until die?
Speak then, dear one, what of my role?
How shall play my part?
With wings on a soaring, gladdened soul,
Or with bonds a fettered heart?
