O love, O fire! once he drewWith one long kiss my whole soul throughMy lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.

O love, O fire! once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.

Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.

Once he drew-with one long kiss-My whole soul through his lips.

If thou shouldst never see my face again, pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Drink to lofty hopes that cool -/ Visions of a perfect State.
