| I set my lips on hers they close | I |
| Into a false and phantom rose | J |
| Upon her thirsting lips I rain | K |
| A flood of kisses and in vain | K |
| Her lips inexorably close | I |
| - | |
| Through her closed lips that cling to mine | L |
| Her hands that hold me and entwine | L |
| Her body that abondoned lies | M |
| Rigid with sterile ecstasies | M |
| A shiver knits her flesh to mine | L |
| - | |
| Life sucks into a mist remote | N |
| Her fainting lips her throbbing throat | N |
| Her lips that open to my lips | M |
| And hot against her finger tips | M |
| The pulses leaping in her throat | N |
