I fear thy kisses gentle maiden

 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 mein, thy tones, thy notion,
Thou needest not fear mine;
Innocent is the heart's devotion
With which I worship thine.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Awakening by John William Waterhouse
