In some ambrosial lovers’ shrine.

My lips against thy lips were pressed,

And all our passion was confessed;

So near and dear my darling seemed,

I knew not that I only dreamed.

Waking, this mid and moonlit night,

I clasp thee close by lover’s right.

Thou fearest not my warm embrace,

And yet, so like the dream thy face

And kisses, I but half partake
