[“Oh never kiss me; stand apart]
“Oh never kiss me; stand apart;
My darling, come not near!
Be dear for ever to my heart,
But be not over-dear!”
My darling, come not near!
Be dear for ever to my heart,
But be not over-dear!”
And while she spake her cheek was flame,
Her look was soft and wild;
But when I kissed her, she became
No stronger than a child.—
Her look was soft and wild;
But when I kissed her, she became
No stronger than a child.—
Ah, love, what wilt thou then apart?
Thy home is thus and here,—
For ever dearer to my heart,
And never over-dear.
Thy home is thus and here,—
For ever dearer to my heart,
And never over-dear.
