In Love

by Georgia Douglas Johnson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/georgia-douglas-johnson_poetry

I lived in Hell the other day Its fires wrapt me angrily, But now their horrors fall and fade Like ghosts that memory has made.

I lived in Hell even today, How swift the fierce flames die away⁠— Submerged with kisses, I forget, With tears upon my pillows yet.
