Classic Poem

Kiss me softly and speak to me low;
— Malice has ever a vigilant ear;
— What if Malice were lurking near?
Kiss me, dear!
Kiss me softly and speak to me low.

Kiss me softly and speak to me low;
— Envy, too, has a watchful ear;
— What if Envy should chance to hear?
Kiss me, dear!
Kiss me softly and speak to me low.

Kiss me softly and speak to me low;
— Trust me, darling, the time is near
— When lovers may love with never a fear;
Kiss me, dear!
Kiss me softly and speak to me low.
