Death & Dying
To a Dead Woman
From The Golden Treasury of American Songs and Lyrics (1899)
Death & Dying
Not a kiss in life; but one kiss, at life's end,
I have set on the face of Death in trust for thee.
Through long years keep it fresh on thy lips, O friend!
At the gate of Silence give it back to me.
