Gamaliel Bradford Love Poems

• 1. The Tickle
  I like to read confessions
  As lengthy as Rousseau's,
  With all their slow processions
  Of innumerable woes.
  ...
• 2. Hunger
  I've been a hopeless sinner, but I understand a
  saint,

• 3. Anacreon's Apology

  ...
• 4. Greeks

  With a touch of human kindness in the splendid shock of fight.

  Singing of its love,

• 7. Leaves

  Of love that grieves.
  ...
• 8. Seals
  I deliver a lecture
  And pour out my soul,
  Its full architecture,
  All rounded and whole.
