Soledad, Guillaume Seignac (c. 1900)

My dearest darling come lie with me

My dearest darling come lie with me
In the mellowing shade of this tree
To help your tense body to relax
By forgetting about all your tasks
For I shall be your calming water
Using methods that never falter

My dearest darling come lie with me
We shall see how quiet we can be
To gaze upon the soon setting sun
Magical night will have just begun
Able now to rest your heavy eyes
While I offer to you my surprise

My dearest darling come lie with me
With my body I will set you free
To go to a place you’ve never been
As you travel on my naked skin
Oh this place you’ll never want to flee
My dearest darling come lie with me
