Book Of Suleika - Love For Love

LOVE for love, and moments sweet,

Lips returning kiss for kiss,

Word for word, and eyes that meet;

Breath for breath, and bliss for bliss.

Thus at eve, and thus the morrow!

Yet thou feeblest, at my lay,

Ever some half-hidden sorrow;

Could I Joseph's graces borrow,

All thy beauty I'd repay!
