LOVES FIRST KISS.

Beneath the bended heaven bright and blue,
There is no bliss
Compares, however strange, or sweet, or new,
With loves first kiss.
When two souls meetean join, as bright
fmaeS twain
OF holy fire
Above an altar meet, and as one gain
To heaven higher.
And earth is lost, and Time stands still q
space,
Bereft of pow'r
To mark the moments on the dial's face
One heavenly hour.
Then might the heavens ope, and earth below
Go up in smoke,
And all go with it none would ever know
Or hear the stroke.
Beneath the bended heaven, bright and blue,
There is no bliss
Compares, however strange, or sweet, or new,
With loves first kiss.
