You breathed out the heart long subdued by her charms?

Her kiss was the answer; so slight yet so sweet,

’Twas enough; and that moment your bliss was complete;

From the lips to each heart went a holier thrill,

Delighting and binding those hearts closer still.

That first kiss of love, when no mortal was near,

Was a sign that dispersed the last vestige of fear;

She is mine, she is mine; mine now and forever;

By those holiest ties that death only can sever.
