NEW SPRING: 28, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Kisses that one steals in darkness
Last Line: For to weep is easier still.
Subject(s): Kisses


KISSES that one steals in darkness,
And in darkness then returns --
How such kisses fire the spirit,
If with honest love it burns!

Pensive, and with fond remembrance,
Then the spirit loves to dwell
Much on days that long have vanish'd,
Much on future days as well.

Yet methinks that too much thinking
Dang'rous is, if kiss we will; --
Weep, then, rather, darling spirit,
For to weep is easier still.
