I’ve learned to say it carelessly,

So no one else can see

By any little look or sign

How dear it is to me.

But, oh, the thrill, as though you kissedMy tingling finger-tipsEach time the golden syllablesFall lightly from my lips!

But, oh, the thrill, as though you kissed

My tingling finger-tips

Each time the golden syllables

Fall lightly from my lips!
