THY breast, dear Doris, ever beAll-hallowed, consecrate to me,A rest where this my heart may goWhatever tempests beat and blow;A shelter that my soul may seeThough all the world speak grievously.Warmed in its softness, dear, by thee,My love shall sometime come to knowThy breast.And sometime, too, so reverentlyThou couldst not, Sweet, refuse my plea.I’ll kiss the dimple that I knowBetwixt those little hills of snowWaits, till my lips press passionatelyThy breast!...

All-hallowed, consecrate to me,
A rest where this my heart may go
Whatever tempests beat and blow;
A shelter that my soul may see
Though all the world speak grievously.
Warmed in its softness, dear, by thee,
My love shall sometime come to know
Thy breast.

And sometime, too, so reverently
Thou couldst not, Sweet, refuse my plea.

Betwixt those little hills of snow
Waits, till my lips press passionately
Thy breast!...
