VI.

Then where thy breasts are hollow

One kiss! one kiss! I go!

Sweet soul! a kiss to follow

Up whence thy breasts bud hollow,

Cheeks than wood-blossoms whiter,

Eyes than dark waters brighter

Wherein the far stars glow.

Look lovely when I leave thee!—

I go, my love, I go!

Look lovely, love, nor grieve thee,

That I must leave thee so.
