AMARI ALIQUID

1

Dearest, our love is perfect, as love goes!
Your kisses fill my frame and fire my blood;
And nothing fails the sweetness each bestows,
Except the joy of being understood.

2

If, for one single moment, once alone,
And in no more than one thing only, this
Moreover only the most trivial one,
You could but understand me—ah, the bliss!
