Poems (Browning)/A Kiss

For works with similar titles, see Kiss.

A Kiss
A tender flower upon the morn
The petals trembling to awake,
A west wind hurries by the fields,
And soon the folded leaves unshake;

A pearl, a dew drop hovers near,
The flower appears in timid bliss,
A burning embrace, folded close,
The dew drop bides in peace—a kiss!
