Before you kissed me, my darling Rosine, only winds of heaven had kissed me, and the tenderness of the rain. Now that you have come, how can I care for kisses Like theirs again? I sought the sea, she sent her winds to meet me, they surged about me singing of the south. I turned my head away to keep still holy your kiss upon my mouth and swift sweet rains of shining April weather found not my lips where living kisses are; I bowed my head lest they put out my glory as rain puts out a star. I am my love’s and she is mine forever, sealed with a seal and safe forevermore. Good night, my darling angel, sleep well*kiss*
