Love
The Kiss
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Love
It was at even and the hour in which good-nights are bid
That Mœris kissed me, if indeed I do not dream she did.
Of all the rest that happened there is naught that I forget,
No word she said, no question of all she asked,--and yet
If she indeed did kiss me, my doubt can not decide,
For how could I still walk the earth had I been deified!
