I DARE not ask a kiss,
I dare not beg a smile;
Lest, having that or this,
I might grow proud the while.
No, no ! the utmost share
Of my desire shall be,
Only to kiss the air
That late kissed thee.
I DARE not ask a kiss,
I dare not beg a smile;
Lest, having that or this,
I might grow proud the while.
No, no ! the utmost share
Of my desire shall be,
Only to kiss the air
That late kissed thee.
