Analysis of O breath that whispers in my ear
O restless night that dawn may come
My beauty want I see
This aching heart
Is feeling stark
No longer fantasy
O love so strong it feels so long
Yet not in life met we
How is it sweet
We seem so close
Souls flame can only be
O come that day of loves sweet kiss
The shivers through me flow
And on that bed
I lay thee bare
My love for you will show
O breath that whispers in my ear
Rhythmic body sat on mine
Our lips do meet
Our hearts do greet
In love we do entwine
O love my sweet my souls best mate
Time marches endlessly
And in my heart
And in my mind
Forever you will be
