YOU KISSED ME.
“My forehead drooped low on your breast,
With a feeling of shelter and infinite rest,
While the holy emotion my tongue dared not speak
Flashed up like a flame from my heart to my cheek.
“Your arms held me fast—Oh! your arms were so bold—
Heart beat against heart in that passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing my soul through my eyes,
As the sun draws the mist from the sea to the skies.
“You kissed me! My heart and my breath and my will,
