“Let Me Irma!
Like the sun beams dancing over summer flowers,
Let me wake up in your mind at all hours,
Like a thought that never subsides,
But as an adorable feeling it within you always resides,
Let me flash as a feeling of joy over your senses,
My darling Irma, I want to take my chances,
For who knows what might happen tomorrow,
So I wish to live every moment of joy before I experience a moment of sorrow,
Let me embrace you like the daylight,
Which is around you always, though you do not feel its grasp tight,
Like this let me hold you forever and everywhere,
To be seemingly nowhere yet always there, forever there,
Like the daylight draping you in its brightness,
And when I see you clad in this dress of daylight, ah my fondness,
For you, your smile, your deep eyes draws me unto you,
Then neither the daylight, nor the day exist, it is just you and only you,
And as I climb the heights of passions and desires,
Let me rest within you like those solemn prayers,
That arise from the heart and dwell forever in the firmament of love,
Then let me believe nothing exists below and nothing exists up above,
It is just the daylight and you,
Where you wear my passions all around you,
And I forever love you,
And I once again believe you were made for me and I was made for you,
Then when the night approaches,
Let me disregard all astral reproaches,
And lie with you Irma under the starry night,
And bask in your love light, that shines brighter than the daylight.”

And that's despicable.”

If he were to do that, then you could stop the violence and quickly move to management.”

It is not just a wonderful idea. It is a dangerous idea.”
