Explore "The Parting Kiss" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Humid seal of soft affections, / Tenderest pledge of future bliss, / Dearest tie of young connections, / Love's first snowdrop, virgin kiss!
Speaking silence, dumb confession, / Passion's birth, and infant's play, / Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, / Glowing dawn of future day!
Sorrowing joy, Adieu's last action, / (Lingering lips must now disjoin), / What words can ever speak affection / So thrilling and sincere as thine!
