Ferme doucement tes bras, comme une ceinture sur moi.
Ô touche, ô touch ma peau ainsi!
Ni l'eau ni la brise de midi ne sont plus douces que ta main.

 ... 

Donne-moi ta main. Qu'elle est chaude!
Serre la mienne, ne la quitte pas.
Les mains mieux que les bouches s'unissent,
et leur passion ne s'égale à rien.
