First Line: Simone, white as thy throat the snow I see
Last Line: My snow, simone, and all my love art thou.
Subject(s): Cold; Kisses; Love; Snow
SIMONE, white as thy throat the snow I see,
Simone, the snow is white as is thy knee.
Simone, thy hand is cold even as the snow,
Simone, thy heart is cold even as the snow.
The kiss of fire will melt the snow's cold heart,
But thine melts only when we kiss to part.
The snow is sad on the pine-branches there,
Thy brow is sad under its chestnut hair.
In the courtyard thy sister snow sleeps now,
My snow, Simone, and all my love art thou.
