O Hymen O Hymenee by Walt Whitman Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1855

O hymen! O hymenee! why do you tantalize me thus?
O why sting me for a swift moment only?
Why can you not continue? O why do you now cease?
Is it because if you continued beyond the swift moment you would
        soon certainly kill me?
