ALL THAT I ASK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: All that I ask is but to stand
Last Line: All that I ask.
Alternate Author Name(s): T., B. L.
Subject(s): Love


ALL that I ask is but to stand —
Or sit — and hold your burning hand.
Ah, love, that would indeed be grand! —
All that I ask.

All that I ask is but to hold
You in embrace that's not too bold —
Just bold enough. Oh, joy, pure gold! —
All that I ask.

All that I ask is but to seize
Your lips and drain them to the lees.
Would that not be, love, just the cheese?
All that I ask.
