LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 40, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sweet darling, beloved by me solely
Last Line: One soul and body we'll be.
Subject(s): Bodies; Love; Soul


SWEET darling, beloved by me solely,
The thoughts in my memory dwell
That once I possess'd thee wholly,
Thy soul and body as well.

Thy body, so young and tender,
I need, beyond all doubt;
Thy soul to the tomb I'll surrender,
I've plenty of soul without.

I'll cut my soul in sunder,
And half of it breathe into thee,
And when I embrace thee, -- O wonder! --
One soul and body we'll be.
