THE KISS by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HEAP SLUMBER ON YOUR EYES
Last Line: TEARS AT YOUR HEART!
Subject(s): KISSES;
Heap slumber on your eyes;
Stop your mouth with dust;
Be all that you were not,
As dead folk must.

Be all that you were not,
Unmindful, cold, apart --
The kiss you gave that dusk,
Tears at your heart!
