1. With a kiss on my hand, I wished
That to my lips he had inclined.

2. I chided him; between us lingered
Great bashfulness and tenderness feigned.

3. I noticed his slender waist-band,
As though locked with an easy clasp.

4. His open shirt would flutter free
Like boughs of the willow, supple and crisp.

5. If only he were mine, and our homes
Not far apart, our means the same!
