A Kiss

Humid seal of soft affection
Tenderest pledge of future bliss
Dearest tie of young connexion
Loves first snow-drop virgin kiss.

Speaking silence dumb confession
Passions birth & infants play
Dove-like fondness haste concession
Glowing dawn of brighter day.

Sorrowing joy adieus last action
When lingering lips no more shall join
What words can ever speak affection
So thrilling & sincere as thine.
