To___. (I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden,...)
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
I.
I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden,
Thou needest not fear mine:
My spirit is too deeply laden
Ever to burthen thine.
II.
I fear thy mien, thy tones, thy motion,
Thou needest not fear mine:
Innocent is the heart's devotion
With which I worship thine.
Written 1820.
