Should I but Breathe

But a rose should I breathe a fragrance so sweet,

only my heart with thine, a softened smile doth it beat

A tender caress, eyes that hold many a moment treasured

Oh and the touch of your lips many a gasp of pleasure.

Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me, my lover,

Hold me forever, my heart will never belong to another.
