We That Were Friends

Title:     We That Were Friends
Author: James Elroy Flecker [More Titles by Flecker]

We that were friends to-night have found
A sudden fear, a secret flame:
I am on fire with that soft sound
You make, in uttering my name.

Forgive a young and boastful man
Whom dreams delight and passions please,
And love me as great women can
Who have no children at their knees.

[The end]
James Elroy Flecker's poem: We That Were Friends
