You Kissed Me

You kissed me!My head dropped low on your breast
With a feeling of shelter and infinite rest
While the holy emotions my tounge dared not speak,
Flashed up as flame, from my heart to my cheek

Your arms held me fast,oh!
Your arms were so bold.
Heart beat against heart in their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing my soul through mine eyes,
as the sun draws the mist form the sea to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine till I prayed in my bliss
They might never unclasp from the rapturous kiss
