Smile on once more before you leave my friend <br />And tune my spirit into jollity, <br />Let me partake of your sweet amity <br />Before these dainty moments come to end. <br />And Oh! If I had power to suspend <br />This fugitive delight indef’nitely <br />To hoard the manna of your quiddity; <br />Provision when my haggard days impend… <br />Smile on my friend before I sublimate <br />This savory smile to loftier extents <br />When, like the Hyacinth, you shall vacate <br />My eyes and wear the grander lineaments <br />Of Beauty, hence, my darling, smile to me <br />Nay! Smile your way to immortality! <br /> <br /> <br />Adelaide <br />July 22nd 1994<br /><br />Samer Madbak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-105-sonnet-51-candied-smile/
