To a Kiss
Language: English 
Our translations:  DUT
Soft child of love, thou balmy bliss,
Inform me, O delicious kiss: 
Why thou so suddenly art gone,
Lost in the moment thou art won?
Yet go! For wherefore should I sigh?
On Delia's lip with raptured eye,
On Delia's blushing lip I see a thousand
full as sweet as thee,
A thousand full as sweet as thee!
