SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 52 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: IN THE LAND OF KISSES
Last Line: THE RAPTURE FOR US BOTH.
Subject(s): KISSES;
In the land of kisses
The very winds were stirred
To mortal speech. But this is
The only tale I heard.
In the land of kisses
Your mouth is a red bloom,
Aching to know the blisses
That perish and consume.
In the land of kisses
My mouth is a red moth
Searching in the dusk. And this is
The rapture for us both.
