 (sighing). Sidney, I am doing wrong, and I know it. But I can bear my sorrows alone no longer. Without you I cannot live, for you are all in all to me. Take me, dear. Do with me as you will. I am all yours. I love you.

My life, my love!


 * Sunshine glows and warms my being,
 * Coming from your touch and glances;
 * Trembles every nerve with pleasure,
 * And jour lips my soul entrances.


 * Hold me close and seal my eyelids
 * With your loving, warm caresses,
 * Let me, losing self completely,
 * Banish fear my heart oppresses.


 * Hence, my queen, I’ll bear you with me
 * To some southern fairy isle,
 * Where, beneath the oleanders,
 * We’ll with love the days beguile.
 * And if e’er a wish you whisper,
 * On the moment I’ll command it,
 * Seeking daily some new pleasures,
 * Hoping daily you’ll demand it.


 * Hold me, darling, closer, closer,
 * Place your lips on mine, my dear.
