Sometimes I think I love a shadow

That could fit on any man

Hence the eyes I don't yet know

Are always staring from the sand

It fills my mind with a doubt

That I was ever meant to love

But a life of love without

Will only cage this dove

Now the single size this myth requires

Before it can find someone

Is the returned love myself desires

I know not what height and width this doth run

And I wonder always too

What this could speak of me

If I feel first love toward all, not few

Hiding till this phantom finds thee
