First Line: I remember how I trembled
Last Line: On thy fond, dear breast.
Subject(s): Love
I remember how I trembled,
When thou clasped me in thine arms.
Wonder if I then resembled
Love, in all its charms.
And my heart was filled with gladness,
As my head I gently pressed,
And without a tinge of sadness,
On thy fond, dear breast.
