Love
Take O take those lips away
From The Golden Treasury, ed. F. T. Palgrave (1861)
Love
Take O take those lips away
That so sweetly were forsworn,
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again,
Bring again--
Seals of love, but seal'd in vain,
Seal'd in vain!
