I wish[1] that my love could be 

     A love like the love of men;

Not a {…} misery

     Pining for deeper pain,

Something like beauty and glee

     Both thought of {…} or stain.

     More full lie and cold;

What my {…} could be awake

     Like the man in |flushing| |gold|; 

 
[1] I wish /I would\
