PERFUME.SHAKE out your hair about me, so,That I may feel the stir and scentOf those vague odours come and goThe way our kisses went.Night gave this priceless hour of love,But now the dawn steals in apace,And amorously bends aboveThe wonder of your face.“Farewell” between our kisses creeps,You fade, a ghost, upon the air;Yet, ah! the vacant place still keepsThe odour of your hair.
