Not only as the kiss of tender lovers—
Let mingle also the sun’s kiss to sea,
Also the wind’s kiss to the bird that hovers,
The flower’s kiss to the earth’s deep greenery.
All elemental love closes and covers
Both you and me.
All shapes of silence and of sound and seeing,
All lives of Nature molten into this,
The moonlight waking and the shadows fleeing,
Strange sorcery of unimagined bliss,
All breath breathing in ours ; mingled all being
Into the kiss.
