CEDAMUS AMORI.
" Dv spiegelst Dich, wic die donne, Ini Meere meiner Liebc." T knew not love's intensity, The pain of its lelicity. The sweetness of its misery. Until our first wild kiss ; For, as the glorious sun on high , With radiance lills the earth and sky, j The glowing lustre of thine eye Doth fill my soul with bliss. Thy voice falls on my heart liko dew ; Thy slightest touches thrill mo through ; The fervour of thy warm lips drew All thought away from me. And all the world around me seems But shadowy tormsand fleeting dreams, And only where thy dark eye beams Is my reality. 01), I could spend eternity In pathless, lonely woods with thee, Or on some isle amidst the sea (Some sunny summer isle.) J'he gods can know no happiness Like that which flows from thy caress, And words can only half express The heaven within thy smile. *
