When body with body mingles
The lips lose their power—
The lips that bloomed with delight,
That bloomed as a flower—

When body with body mingles
The delight of the lips is fled;
As petals fall from a flower
Their perfume, their petals are spread

When body with body mingles;
For your lips are my senses' height,
And more is more than their power
Can savor of one delight.
