Not My Enemies Ever Invade Me Poem by Walt Whitman

Not My Enemies Ever Invade Me

Rating: 2.9


NOT my enemies ever invade me--no harm to my pride from them I fear;
But the lovers I recklessly love--lo! how they master me!
Lo! me, ever open and helpless, bereft of my strength!
Utterly abject, grovelling on the ground before them.
