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.
Published 1824.
