Thou hast bewitched me, belovèd
Language: English
Thou hast bewitched me, belovèd, Till I am weaker than water, Water that drips from the fountain, Through thy white tapering fingers. Yet as the waters together Gather and grow to a torrent, Gathers the flood of my passion, Bearing thee forth on its bosom!
