| The Jealous Lover written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Love Poems" (1935) | Link to further information |
Who is this man that, brain on fire,
Can reason without rule;
The fastest thinker known to life,
And yet the greatest fool?
This man is blind, and yet can see
Beyond our common eyes;
This man is deaf, yet hears plain words
When others hear but sighs.
Thinking that silence proves our guilt,
And speech is all a lie,
He cries aloud, 'My name is Truth —
Who calls me Jealousy?'
