THRICE!
Kiss
me once to wash away the past,
All the dark and dreary time between
Now and when I sadly saw you last
Disappear behind the bushes green,
Garment fluttering out of eyeshot fast,
Kiss me for forgiveness sake, my queen!
All the dark and dreary time between
Now and when I sadly saw you last
Disappear behind the bushes green,
Garment fluttering out of eyeshot fast,
Kiss me for forgiveness sake, my queen!
Kiss me twice, to emphasize the new,
This new, blessed, happier, holier time,
Clouds have parted, shines again the blue,
Rings again the old triumphant rhyme,
Peals in either heart a merry chime,
Kiss me twice to show that it is true!
This new, blessed, happier, holier time,
Clouds have parted, shines again the blue,
Rings again the old triumphant rhyme,
Peals in either heart a merry chime,
Kiss me twice to show that it is true!

Kiss me thrice, yea, sweetheart, once again,
Think of all I've suffered far away,
Think of all the panting and the pain,
Bleeding feet that 'mid the briars stray
Seeking sight of you from day to day,
Signify that I may here remain!
Think of all I've suffered far away,
Think of all the panting and the pain,
Bleeding feet that 'mid the briars stray
Seeking sight of you from day to day,
Signify that I may here remain!
