However much man may philander With women from Maine to Peru, However unstable and fickle He seems to the casual view, You find in despite of his falseness The heart in his masculine breast Holds dearest @3one@1 woman, @3One@1 fondly loved woman For whom he would give all the rest! Yes, whether he's fickle or faithful And whether he's craven or brave, A Galahad, Launcelot or Arthur, A knight or a thief or a knave; There's @3one@1 face means more than all others @3One@1 image alone and apart, There's always @3one@1 woman, @3One@1 dearly loved woman Who reigns in his innermost heart. She may be a queen or a wanton, A creature of ice or of flame, The mate of his home and his fireside, The light-o'-love sharing his shame; But hers is the name he shall murmur When into the depths he is hurled, There's always @3one@1 woman, @3One@1 dearly loved woman For whom he would give all the world! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR CHRIST by HARRY WEBB FARRINGTON LINES FOR THE HOUR by HAMILTON FISH ARMSTRONG THEODORE AND HONORIA by GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO MAUDLIN'S SONG: 1, FR.
