I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
And red with a wild desire;
I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
Lit with a passionate fire.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
Poem, “I Love You,” ll. 1-4
    (Source)

One of Wilcox' most quoted poems; I cannot find a source publication date or collection for it.
