When I consider what to say to you alone, No pause or reprise of rhetoric's tricks Helps untouched heart or utter soul exist Half as much as a mere embrace has done. 5 Each embrace endorses soul's serenity, A gush of love beyond vocal posturings, Past a Casanova's cribbed quotations, Or earnest Adamic plea of surety. A mere embrace alone is full of sugars, 10 Fatly replete, stuffed with life itself, Holding the eternal circle of ourselves Arm in arm beyond each pinch of harm. When I consider what to say, and see your face, I'm struck to silence...beyond a mere embrace.
