Of lover’s eyes embracing, long, long mingling, soul-satisfied,
forgetting all else, restfully resting each in
dear depths of other:
Of heart-drawn lips, tenderly, thrillingly touching, pressing,
Man upon woman’s growing, glowing,
Strong hand under beautiful neck,
Breath-blown billow of silken bosom,
Waves of tresses on white pillow floating,
Souls at one, merging,
Life’s true bloom,
Heaven the chamber:
Of shell-pink babies, softly sleeping,
Under mother-eyes dewy with yearning,
Mother-lips lullabys crooning,
Unspeakable love overshading, fragrant,
Devotedly down-drooping, bending,
Brooding, brooding.
