Kisses
The wave, when the ship goes onward,
Forgets the kiss of the keel;
And the wind, that the arrow startled,
The keen sweet sting of the steel.
Forgets the kiss of the keel;
And the wind, that the arrow startled,
The keen sweet sting of the steel.
Are kisses so soon forgotten?
Nay, what to you and me,
Who have walked in Eden together,
Are tales of the wind and the sea!
Nay, what to you and me,
Who have walked in Eden together,
Are tales of the wind and the sea!
