Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHIJI KAKAJGLG| I love your lips when they're wet with wine | A |
| And red with a wild desire | B |
| I love your eyes when the lovelight lies | C |
| Lit with a passionate fire | B |
| I love your arms when the warm white flesh | D |
| Touches mine in a fond embrace | E |
| I love your hair when the strands enmesh | D |
| Your kisses against my face | E |
| - | |
| Not for me the cold calm kiss | F |
| Of a virgin's bloodless love | G |
| Not for me the saint's white bliss | F |
| Nor the heart of a spotless dove | G |
| But give me the love that so freely gives | H |
| And laughs at the whole world's blame | I |
| With your body so young and warm in my arms | J |
| It sets my poor heart aflame | I |
| - | |
| So kiss me sweet with your warm wet mouth | K |
| Still fragrant with ruby wine | A |
| And say with a fervor born of the South | K |
| That your body and soul are mine | A |
| Clasp me close in your warm young arms | J |
| While the pale stars shine above | G |
| And we'll live our whole young lives away | L |
| In the joys of a living love | G |
