## The words

Call me not to a secret place When daylight  
dies away, Tempt me not with thine eager face  
And words thou shouldst not say. En-tice me not  
with a child of thine, Ah, God, if such might  
be, For surely a man is half divine Who adds  
another link to the line Whose last link none  
may see.  
Call me not to the Lotus lake That drooping  
fuchsias hide, What if my latent youth awake  
And will not be denied? Ah, tempt me not for I  
am not strong (Thy mouth is a budded kiss)  
My days are empty, my nights are long:  
Ah, why is a thing so sweet so wrong,  
Why is a thing so sweet so wrong As they  
temptation is?
