Alas, madam, for stealing of a kiss, Have I so much your mind then offended? Have I then done so grievously amiss, That by no means it may be amended?

For to my mouth the first my heart did suck, The next shall clean out of my breast it pluck. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRAYER FOR COURAGE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE COMING OF WISDOM WITH TIME by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS SPEAKIN' O' CHRISTMAS by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A MODEST LOVE; SONG by EDWARD DYER BEAUTIFUL WOMEN by WALT WHITMAN TO THE CUCKOO (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH SONNETS FOR NEW YORK CITY: 2.
