“I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden”

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

I FEAR thy kisses, gentle maiden;

Thou needest not fear mine;

My spirit is too deeply laden

Ever to burden thine.

I fear thy mien, thy tones, thy motion;

Thou needest not fear mine;

Innocent is the heart’s devotion

With which I worship thine.
