TWO LIPS by THOMAS HARDY

Poet Analysis

First Line: I KISSED THEM IN FANCY AS I CAME
Last Line: SHE DID NOT KNOW.
Subject(s): KISSES;

I KISSED them in fancy as I came
Away in the morning glow:
I kissed them through the glass of her picture-frame:
She did not know.

I kissed them in love, in troth, in laughter
When she knew all; long so!
That I should kiss them in a shroud thereafter
She did not know.
