Our love

Yrjö Henrik Kilpinen

This rose, rich with furtive kisses:

Look: this is our love.

Our hands pass it back and forth,

Our lips cover it more and more

With words and kisses rich with longing;

Our souls greet each other, back and forth -

As if across an ocean -- as if across an ocean --

This rose, rich with the fragrance of our souls:

Look, this is our love.
