Once In the light of your smile Waiting for a deep breath to span Some moment I Bowed and lingered danced and still Twice In gardens alone I Felt stabbed through and again sweet pain Harsh longing Myself Forgiven raptured and yet Thrice While my soul was bleeding Hot thick running crimson ribbon Staining skin I Lovingly whispered your name.
