Humid seal of soft affection
Tenderest predge of future bliss
Dearest tie of young connections
Love's first snowdrop, virgin kiss!

Speaking silence dumb confession
Passion's birth and infant is 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!
