The literature of kissing

by Charles C. Bombaugh

I shall be with thee ere the morrow.

Bailey: Festus.

The smile, the sigh, the tear, and the embrace—

All the delights of love at last in one,

With kisses close as stars in the Milky Way.

Bailey: Festus.

Frown—toss about—let her lips be for a time:

But steal a kiss at last like fire from heaven.
