Not a kiss in life; but one kiss, at life’s end, <br />I have set on the face of Death in trust for thee. <br />Through long years keep it fresh on thy lips, 0 friend! <br />At the gate of Silence give it back to me.<br /><br />Henry Cuyler Bunner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dead-woman/
