Your lips are wine, --
O Heart's Desire
Give me the flame
Of their passion-kindling fire;
The world melts away
In the glow of your kiss
And leaves just you and me
Alone in silent bliss

Your lips again
Give them to mine
One more full draught
Of their nectar’d anodyne
In the fold of your arms
Lull me softly, softly until
There comes the wondrous calm
Of love so deep and still
