EN RAPPORT.
Clasped in thy arms, with my head on thy breast,
All is forgotten of sorrow and woe.
Nothing I feel but peace, infinite rest.
Hold me, beloved, thus, tenderly—so.
Aglow with the love that forever is thine,
I lift my cheek to thy willing caress.
Few hearts may drink of the joy that is mine
Few tongues such rapture can truly confess.
Clasped in thy arms, with my head on thy breast,
I feel thy heartbeats have quickened for me
With gladdest joy now my soul is possessed.
Life would be empty without love and thee
Some say, beloved, that life is a dream:
That at death's coming we will but awake
But if the waking a parting doth seem
Let me dream ever for sweetest love's sake
—Jane Manly in New Orleans Picayune.
