Arthur Henry Adams - The Perfect Present.
Work rating: Low

SO I have kissed you! And this hour is mine.
Its light along the level future lasts,
It crowns a drab eternity of Pasts!
Here soul and soul have crossed the border-line
Of self, and merged. No years can e`er untwine
This hour from us! What though to-morrow casts
The memory out, and your cold glance contrasts
With this day`s rich red lips, need I repine?
No. I have kissed you! And the brief warm flower
Born of our lips perfumes eternity.
From the long loneliness that silently
Stretches behind, before, I am content
To cull this blossom of one perfect hour —
To snatch one star from Time`s deep firmament!
