LOVE'S KISS, by HELEN HAY First Line: Kiss me but once, and in that space supreme Last Line: And in the grave one may forget -- forget. | |||
KISS me but once, and in that space supreme My whole dark life shall quiver to an end, Sweet Death shall see my heart and comprehend That life is crowned, and in an endless gleam Will fix the color of the dying stream, That Life and Death may meet as friend with friend An endless immortality to blend; Kiss me but once, and so shall end my dream. And then Love heard me and bestowed his kiss, And straight I cried to Death: I will not die! Earth is so fair when one remembers this; Life is but just begun! Ah, come not yet! The very world smiles up to kiss the sky, And in the grave one may forget -- forget. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOES THE PEARL KNOW? by HELEN HAY SIGH NOT FOR LOVE by HELEN HAY WAS THERE ANOTHER SPRING by HELEN HAY MY ORCHA'D IN LINDEN LEA by WILLIAM BARNES THE INQUEST by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES HIS CONTENT IN THE COUNTRY by ROBERT HERRICK AT THE CEDARS by DUNCAN CAMPBELL SCOTT LETTY'S GLOBE by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER |
