TEARS AND KISSES by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE ARE TEARS SWEET, REFRESHING LIKE DEWDROPS THAT RISE
Last Line: THERE ARE KISSES THAT LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THE DEAD.
Subject(s): KISSES; TEARS;
There are tears sweet, refreshing like dewdrops that rise,
There are tears far too deep for the lakes of the eyes.

There are kisses like thistledown, fitfully sped,
There are kisses that live in the hearts of the dead.
