TO MY LOVE.
“Da mi basia.”—
Catullus.
Catullus.
I.
Kiss me softly and speak to me low;Malice has ever a vigilant ear;
What if Malice were lurking near?
Kiss me, dear!
Kiss me softly and speak to me low.
II.
Kiss me softly and speak to me low;Envy too has a watchful ear;
83
Kiss me, dear!
Kiss me softly and speak to me low.
III.
Kiss me softly and speak to me low;Trust me, darling, the time is near
When we may love with never a fear;
Kiss me, dear!
Kiss me softly and speak to me low.
