TO MRS,— - .

Thomas Moore

How heavenly was the poet's doom, To breathe his spirit through a kiss: And lose within so sweet a tomb The trembling messenger of bliss!

And, sure his soul returned to feel That it again could ravished be; For in the kiss that thou didst steal, His life and soul have fled to thee.
