Humid seal of soft affections, <br /> Tend'rest pledge of future bliss, <br />Dearest tie of young connections, <br /> Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss. <br /> <br />Speaking silence, dumb confession, <br /> Passion's birth, and infants' play, <br />Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, <br /> Glowing dawn of brighter day. <br /> <br />Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action, <br /> Ling'ring lips, -- no more to join! <br />What words can ever speak affection <br /> Thrilling and sincere as thine!<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-a-kiss/
