A kiss is all I ask of thee
a smile upon this face I see
tis kindly given, this lover's touch
I plead for this, seems not that much
Tis your eyes, holds this spell acast
upon my heart, it beats so fast
to taste that which lies upon your lips
some dawn rise dew, some honeyed sips.
Tis some dream that you can give to me
to feel you close, a touch tenderly
your breath upon my flesh or skin
tis now that life, my life begin.
Oh, I do ask for such favor nigh
to hear some sound, a soundless sigh
of joy and pleasure, or welcome smile
tis yes you say, your lover's wile
