ONLY THIS.
I long for tho sound of thy speech, As low as the zephyrs that stir The rippling waves on the beach, Tho perfu.ne of roses and myrrh. I long for the touch of thy lips That s-ootho and oarcsa with their wile, As sweet as the dew the bee sips From flowers of a tropical isle. I long for a glance of thine eye, As bright v& a radiant star That lights up the dusk of the sky With glittering gleams from afar. I loi.g for a glance of thine eye, Just to feel your lingering kiss; To know you the truest and best— I long for just this—only thi*?. —Mary Morse-Burke.
