You bent your head, then close you pressed

Your warm and glowing lips to mine;

Your tender hand my hair caressed,

When first you gave that kiss divine,

My heart was throbbing with delight,

My soul was steeped in holy bliss;

I gazed into your eyes so bright,

When first you gave me that sweet kiss.

In all the after years of pain,

When from my side you I did miss,
