Humid seal of soft affections, Tenderest pledge of future bliss, Dearest tie of young connections, Love's first snowdrop, virgin kiss! Speaking silence, dumb confession, Passion's birth, and infant's play, Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, Glowing dawn of future day! Sorrowing joy, Adieu's last action, (Lingering lips must now disjoin), What words can ever speak affection So thrilling and sincere as thine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE OF BROKEN FLUTES by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON GEORGE CRABBE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON TAKE HER, BREAK HER by ANACREON SILVIO'S COMPLAINT: A SONG, TO A FINE SCOTCH TUNE by APHRA BEHN TWILIGHT TIME by ANNA MCINTOSH BEVILLE A WOMAN'S SONNETS: 1 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
