I Love this white and slender body, 
These limbs that answer Love's caresses, 
Passionate eyes, and forehead covered 
With heavy waves of thick, black tresses. 
  
You are the very one I've searched for 
In many lands, in every weather. 
You are my sort; you understand me; 
As equals we can talk together. 
  
In me you've found the man you care for. 
And, for a while, you'll richly pay me 
With kindness, kisses and endearments-- 
And then, as usual, you'll betray me. 
I Love This White And Slender Body
