• Velvet words,
    Tickle my ear,
    And strong firm hands,
    Wipe my tears.
    Soft lips,
    my fingertips long to graze.
    Trapped,
    in sweet lovers gaze.
    Alas!
    Awoken!
    To the cold dark night.
    The feeling lingers,
    as though in spite.
    My dreary walls laugh as I come to find,
    That true love lives only,
    within my mind.
    OH!
    Sweet death!
    Tempt me not.
    So long against you,
    I have fought.
    To trade false kisses
    For only one,
    my last.
    I turn away
    And raise the mass.
    Good ship sail me once more.
    On ports of dreams and cloudy shores.
    Bring me hence,
    Thy desire.
    Once again in true loves fire.
