KISSING HELENA by PLATO

First Line: KISSING HELENA, TOGETHER
Last Line: OH, CRUEL I, TO INTERCEPT IT!
Subject(s): KISSES;

Kissing Helena, together
With my kiss, my soul beside it
Came to my lips, and there I kept it, --
For the poor thing had wandered thither,
To follow where the kiss should guide it,
Oh, cruel I, to intercept it!
