THE KISS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The maid I love ne'er thought of me
Last Line: Give her as sweet and pure a kiss.
Variant Title(s): Sympathy [in Sorrow]
Subject(s): Kisses


THE maid I love ne'er thought of me
Amid the scenes of gaiety;
But when her heart or mine sank low,
Ah, then it was no longer so.
From the slant palm she raised her head,
And kissed the cheek whence youth had fled.
Angels! some future day for this,
Give her as sweet and pure a kiss.
