TO MY FUTURE BRIDE
'I am faint with love.' - The Song of Songs
Come, my lover, come to me! -
To the sandy glade beside the rose-clad sea,
Where the blossoms of my perfumes master thee! -
Come, my lover, come to me!
Let our sighing hearts be of one accord.
Let our kisses be of fire!
Let us give ourselves, each to the other,
With the solemn blessing of The Lord.
And before we are breathless, ablaze in desire,
Let us thank sweet Jesus and His Blessed Mother,
For gracing our embraces
With ecstasy and endless love,
As the sun upon our faces
Instills within our eyes
Elysian visions from above.
Come to me, my lover, my love! -
We have raised the sea and have vanquished the skies!
