of my lips, you lie! I await a thing unknown

of a childhood groping among its reveries
to sort out finally its cold precious stones.

And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.
