Desolate Union

Thy hands, fragrant, on my breast-- The softest touch I ever savoured And the scintilla in thy words, O the memory of an experienced night. As the gleeful bird on the highest bough And whenever thou lookest through green and green I roam from verduous shrub to shrub Of thy garden immensely embellished. Then thy flower thou tuck’st into my hand, The fadeless pleasure I return to thee.
