EXTASE by JOSEPH KLING

First Line: YOUR BEAUTY IS A GOLDEN TIDE
Last Line: MAY THE END NEVER BE!
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;

Your beauty is a golden tide
Half-mist, half-light
On which my heart is afloat. ....

No cup in Heaven will have
The soft red rim of your lips.
I hear your voice sing low. ....
The world is fading, dying;
Only you and I still live,
A flame in the sunless void. ....

May the end never be!
