You Kissed Me.

You kissed NE my head had dropped low upon
your breast,
With Il feeling of shelter and Infinite rest,
While the holy emotions my tongue dared not
speak.
Flushed up, like fame, from my heart to my
check
Your arms held me fast-O, your arms were 50
Iea: responded to heart in that passionate hold;
Your glanccs seemed drawing my soul through
mine eyes.
AS the sun draws the mists from the seas t i, the
skies;
And your lips elung to mine, till prayed in my
bliss
They might never unclasp from that rapturous
Kiss,
You kissed me my heart and my breast and
my viii.
In delirious JOY for The moment stood still
Life had for then temptations or charms
No vista of pleasure outside of your arms:
And were 1 this instant an angel possessed
Of the glory and peace that are given the blest,
l would fling my white robes unrepinn gly down,
And take from my forehead its beautiful crown,
To nestle once in that haven of rest,
your breast.
You kissed me my soul in bliss 50 divine,
Recled aud swooned like FOOLS h man drunken
with wine,
And thought twero delicious to die then if deatl,
Would come while my lips were still moist with
your breath.
'Twere delicious to die, if my heart might grow
cold
While your arms wrapt me close in that pas
sionatc hold.
And these the questions asked day and Al. hit:
Must my life taste but such exquisite
delight?
Would you if your breast were my shelter as
then,
And if you were here-eo"ld you kiss NE cyains
