by Nadejda de Bragança, Princess (1910 - 1946)
Cabaret
Language: English
The dim room rocks in a smoky haze; The throb in my veins is quick with wine; Long, sweet langorous music plays And our darkness dizzily intertwine Head thrown back and lips apart, With eyelids drooping and hair askew I hear the soft, warm hiss of my heart, Heavy as honey calling you.
