| Your kisses and the way you curl | B |
| Delicious and distracting girl | B |
| Into one's arms and round about | C |
| Luxuriously in and out | C |
| Twining inextricably as twine | D |
| The clasping tangles of the vine | D |
| Strong to embrace and long to kiss | E |
| And strenuous for the sharper bliss | E |
| Insatiably enamoured of | F |
| The ultimate ecstasy of love | F |
| So loving to be loved so gay | G |
| And greedy for our holiday | G |
| And then how prettily you sleep | H |
| You nestle close and let me keep | H |
| My straying fingers in the nest | I |
| Of your warm comfortable breast | I |
| And as I lie and dream awake | J |
| Unsleeping for your sleeping sake | J |
| I feel the very pulse and heat | K |
| Of your young life blood beat and beat | K |
| With mine and you are mine my sweet | K |

| The little bedroom papered red | L |
| The gas's faint malodorous light | M |
| And one beside me in the bed | L |
| Who chatters chatters half the night | M |
| - | |
| I drowse and listen drowse again | N |
| And still although I would not hear | O |
| Her stream of chatter like the rain | P |
| Is falling falling on my ear | O |
| - | |
| The bed clothes stifle me I ache | J |
| With weariness my eyelids prick | Q |
| I hate until I long to break | J |
| That clock for its tyrannic tick | Q |
| - | |
| And still beside me through the heat | K |
| Of this September night I feel | R |
| Her body's warmth upon the sheet | K |
| Burn through my limbs from head to heel | R |
| - | |
| And still I see her profile lift | S |
| Its tiresome line above the hair | T |
| That streams a dark and tumbled drift | S |
| Across the pillow that I share | T |
