Come, my meticulous, intellectual love,
And lie beside me in this secret bower,
Where fragrant Woodbine blossoms grow above,
And on each side bloom those of Passion Flower;
Oh, let these lips unload thy heavy head,
These balmy fingers smooth thy furrowed brow;
This heart restore thine own which, all but dead,
Disdained and left behind the here and now.<\/p>\n

The robin singing in some leafy tree
Knows better far than thou that life is good;
He trills with utter joy, though unlike thee
He has no mate as yet within this wood.
So kiss my breasts, embrace my burning thighs;
Stoke up the flame that tongues the secret part,
Enjoy the warmth herein before it dies,
And lose thyself for now in the womb’s great heart.<\/p>\n
