The woman I am
Hides deep in me
Beneath the woman
I seem 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 the dream!
The woman I seem
Goes carelessly—
When love goes by
Does not seem to see.
But the woman I am
Knows sudden fear…
And hides more deeply
When love draws near!
For love might look closely
Perhaps… and see
Her beneath the woman
I seem to be!
