Transcendental Sonnet #597:
In Sweet Kisses One by One
While the watched pot never boils
The unwatched pot boils over
Unhealthy vigilance spoils
Love for the jealous lover
Love must be free! Let it go
If it returns you will know
You are a fortunate one
But if not accept as fate
That you watched too well too late
One love ended one begun
Love can only grow in sun
In free air and openness
In trust and cordial kindness
In sweet kisses one by one
