THE YOUNG GIRL'S POEM <br /> <br />KISS mine eyelids, beauteous Morn, <br />Blushing into life new-born! <br />Lend me violets for my hair, <br />And thy russet robe to wear, <br />And thy ring of rosiest hue <br />Set in drops of diamond dew! <br /> <br />Kiss my cheek, thou noontide ray, <br />From my Love so far away <br />Let thy splendor streaming down <br />Turn its pallid lilies brown, <br />Till its darkening shades reveal <br />Where his passion pressed its seal! <br /> <br />Kiss my lips, thou Lord of light, <br />Kiss my lips a soft good-night! <br />Westward sinks thy golden car; <br />Leave me but the evening star, <br />And my solace that shall be, <br />Borrowing all its light from thee!<br /><br />Oliver Wendell Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fantasia/
