HAVE you kissed that kiss that draws open the door of life, Loosening the floods, till your body sings with strong joy? Do you know the tremor of the spirit that rises on a glance and a touch And braids the stars in your hair? Do you come shining to work in the gray morning Because your lips are dewy with the imprint of a kiss? Oh, glowing one, you walk in emptiness: You distrust and despise yourself and the world of men: In your triumph you taste defeat: and in your glory vanity: Go and know love, the giver of victories. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ROLLING ENGLISH ROAD by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON MADRIGAL: 109 by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI |
