Intimacy
Ah, my love speak to me and say in my
ear sweet things I desire of thee this night.
Come lie with me in my embrace with sigh
until regret doth see morn's early light.
Let these two candles be out ending day
and drapes fast be drawn closed around recline.
Near thy heart close to thee here I will stay,
enjoying marriage place, God's great design.
The cares and schemes of day's past time are laid
aside as I do breathe near thee at ease.
All woes are like the fallen leaves thus made
to be swept clean with rake from under trees.
Forever may it be that we can take
such precious time together while awake.
