THE SOUL OF A KISS, by                    
First Line: Just the breath of a kiss that passed and vanished
Last Line: But my soul shall know its own.
Subject(s): Kisses; Lips; Love


Just the breath of a kiss that passed and vanished,
Like a sunbeam stolen away,—
But the soul of a kiss to lips that were famished
For its life that lives for aye.

Somewhere in the reach of the vast eternal,
The soul of that kiss again
Will call to me from the heights supernal
With its solemn, sweet Amen.

And my soul shall answer softly,
Softly and low of tone;
No height nor depth nor ages
But my soul shall know its own.
