HUMID seal of soft affections, <br />Tenderest pledge of future bliss, <br />Dearest tie of young connections, <br />Love's first snowdrop, virgin kiss! <br /> <br /> <br />Speaking silence, dumb confession, <br />Passion's birth, and infant's play, <br />Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, <br />Glowing dawn of future day! <br /> <br /> <br />Sorrowing joy, Adieu's last action, <br />(Lingering lips must now disjoin), <br />What words can ever speak affection <br />So thrilling and sincere as thine!<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/verses-on-a-parting-kiss/
