Analysis of The Phantom Lover .
The Phantom Lover .
Beneath the cover ,
Peeps and whips ,
The phantom lover .
The phantom of coarse romance ,
Needs fun from the hidden urn ,
The Phantom Nature burns .
Dumb ,mimic ,the phantom is ,
For its wanton-thirst it teases ,
Sowing seed ,or mutual retreat ,
The phantom plays as knave ,
To stir and fire the psychic cave ,
The phantom on phantom produce wave .
