Counterparts: A Lover's Conceit
A LOVER’S CONCEIT.
I SEND, sweet, my yearning
Half-kisses to thee;
Oh send your returning
Half-kisses to me.
Half-kisses to thee;
Oh send your returning
Half-kisses to me.
When our half-kisses meet, love,
What marvels have birth!
All fair things and sweet, love,
New heaven, new earth!
What marvels have birth!
All fair things and sweet, love,
New heaven, new earth!
