I know not who you are br and your introduction br I have never chanced br and your meeting br never placed br And yet I know you br As a brother and friend br comrade and lover; br I know your longings and desires br (As they are my very own) br I know you with all br your perfections and faults br (As I know my very self) br I know you not for br Who you are but what you are br And it is that bond br Among us as among all men br That I say "I love you" br And yearn with an aching br In my breasts br To say "I know you".
