All. rosy lips OF blunhing maid
Tint thrill the lover on ha knee:
oh, neetnred. honled lips OF youth
Tho lush, warm lipo OF ecstasy
bow my head In thoughts OF theot
Far down the hectling cleft OF Time
1 gaze with yenrning eye OF ago
And wssve thy rapture into rhyme.
And yet. wine OF June time love,
Iconoclant break thy sway
To dream of lips. ah denrer far
The lips that kisaed the tenrs awayi
An, mother lips knew OF yore.
oh. lips no soft and clinging sweet,
i give to thee tho truest love,
TO thee tho homage most completed
When all the world whB dark and cold
When all tho Hun WAS chilled by tears,
Thy lips. o mother. gone for aye.
Wero lips that kissed away my fears.
They came with comfort swift and sure
And when upon my eyes they lay.
With love and feeling all divine.
They kissed my falling tears awayi
No more when worldly wounds are soro
She eoines to kiss my weeping eyes:
No more she scourges pain aud fear-
She scops. at rest In Paradine.
An, rosy lips OF blnshing maid.
The lipa you yielded In the dusk;
An. stolen lips. the lips OF troth.
The lips whose petala hint OF musk,
Thy glorieB simmer OH and out.
Thy kisses fade to sther gray.
God, dream OF mothers lips
Tho lips thut kissed the tears away.
