I thrill beneath the lovelight in your eyes, So warm, and deep, and tender in its glow, The heart within you seems to overflow, Until I feel my own responsive rise! When, folded close within your arms I lie, Your lips on mine, your breath upon my face, Ah, surely there could be no sweeter place! There could I rest content until I die. There all life's sorrows seem to melt away, And you, beloved, fill its every need, As on your love my hungry soul must feed. No dearer boon my heart shall ever ask, Than loving service I may always pay, As in the sunshine of your love I bask. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARCHIMEDES LAST FORAY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET LONELY BURIAL by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET I WANT TO LIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MA LADY'S LIPS AM LIKE DE HONEY (NEGRO LOVE SONG) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE CORNUCOPIA OF RED AND GREEN COMFITS by AMY LOWELL |
