LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 6, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: O lean thy beauteous cheek on mine
Last Line: I'll die of my love's sweet yearning.
Subject(s): Love; Tears


OLEAN thy beauteous cheek on mine,
That our tears together may mingle!
Against my bosom press thou thine,
That their flames may no longer be single

And when with the flame is mingled at last
The stream of our tears all burning,
And mine arm is lovingly round thee cast, --
I'll die of my love's sweet yearning.
