What nectar, o what neck

 

What nectar, o what neck,

To be kissed and to be pecked

Where aromas lay a gentle trail

For your lips to glide or dwell!


And on your way along the curve,

Her downy ornament, a shock of hair,

Waves you further in—to the final

Verge and sill—by the scented air!


Are we in an orchard now or has

A wag of some enchanting wand

Changed the hour to an instant May


With a floral anadem of shimmer

on her bending head as she imbues

Her whole in the lights of bloom?
