ONE KISS.

Because 1t was SO brief thing
The loving Of this man and maid
Because one little hour 1t staid,
II cries for some remembering.
Her heart was light, and lighter his
The weight was all eternity's.
They had no better sign to give
Between the garden and the grave
Than this alone they turned and gave,
As though to say to heaven: I'VE live.
Let other lips their moment miss.
Death shall not say we did not kissl"
The tree is here, the stone is here,
And here come worthier maids and men
Where these have loved to dream again.
The golden silence is as clear,
But they come not, and 1t is this
Which consecrates their single kiss.
