​

TO ———

[Published by Mrs. Shelley, Posthumous Poems, 1824.]

I
I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden,
 Thou needest not fear mine;
My spirit is too deeply laden
 Ever to burthen thine.

II
I fear thy mien, thy tones, thy motion, 5
 Thou needest not fear mine;
Innocent is the heart's devotion
 With which I worship thine.
