The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

To feed her children,
And there is the mother
Who cooks too little,
Or not at all.

That returns to its nest
With just a frail worm
And feeds it to her babies,
And there is the bird
That kills its frail babies
Just to eat the worm.

There is the lover
Who argues that
There is never
Enough love,
And there is the other lover
Who argues that love is
All there ever
Was.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, president of the United States from 1933 to 1945 (1882–1945)
