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 affectionSo thrilling and sincere as thine!
