Winding all my life about thee, br Let me lay my lips on thine; br What is all the world without thee, br Mine --oh mine! br br Let me press my heart out on thee, br Grape of life's most fiery vine, br Spilling sacramental on thee br Love's red wine. br br br Let thy strong eyes yearning o'er me br Draw me with their force divine; br All my soul has gone before me br Clasping thine. br br Irresistibly I follow, br As whenever we may run br Runs our shadow, as the swallow br Seeks the sun. br br Yea, I tremble, swoon, surrender br All my spirit to thy sway, br As a star is drowned in splendour br Of the day.
