The Kiss (Teasdale 1)
From Wikisource
| The Kiss by |
| From Helen of Troy and Other Poems Part II and Love Songs Part I |
I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south.
For tho' I know he loves me,
To-night my heart is sad;
His kiss was not so wonderful
As all the dreams I had.
