Humid seal of soft affections, Tend'rest pledge of future bliss,
Dearest tie of young connections, Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.
Speaking silence, dumb confession, Passion's birth, and infants' play,
Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, Glowing dawn of brighter day.
Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action, Ling'ring lips, — no more to join!
What words can ever speak affection Thrilling and sincere as thine!
