THE KISS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
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!
