Kiss me softly and speak to me low; <br />Malice has ever a vigilant ear; <br />What if Malice were lurking near? <br />Kiss me, dear! <br />Kiss me softly and speak to me low. <br /> <br />Kiss me softly and speak to me low; <br />Envy, too, has a watchful ear; <br />What if Envy should chance to hear? <br />Kiss me, dear! <br />Kiss me softly and speak to me low, <br /> <br />Kiss me softly and speak to me low; <br />Trust me, darling, the time is near <br />When lovers may love with never a fear; <br />Kiss me, dear! <br />Kiss me softly and speak to me low.<br /><br />John Godfrey Saxe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-love-35/
