FEAR hath torment. Love, away!
I'm afraid of you to-day.
Love, your voice I dare not hear,
'Tis so infinitely dear.
Love, I do not dare to see
In your eyes your need of me.
Take to-day your banishment,
Lest I utterly repent.
My weak heart I scarcely know,
Only, love, I tremble so.
Kiss me once, and leave me, dear;
Better loneliness than fear.
Fear hath torment. Love, away!
I'm afraid of you to-day.
