Love

Song

by Joaquin Miller 1841–1913

From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Stevenson (1912)

Love

There is many a love in the land, my love,
But never a love like this is;
Then kill me dead with your love, my love,
And cover me up with kisses.

So kill me dead and cover me deep
Where never a soul discovers;
Deep in your heart to sleep, to sleep,
In the darlingest tomb of lovers.
