"Let us lie close, as lovers should

That, if I wake when barn - crocks crow-

I`ll feel your body at my side,

And hear your breathing come and go,

When dreams, one night, had moved our bodies,

I, waking listened for your breath,

I feared to reach and touch your face,

That it was icy-cold and death.

Let us lie close, as lovers should,

And count our breaths, as some count sheep,

Until we say "Good night", at last,

And with one kiss prepared for sleep"

William Henry Davies - Let us lie close
