LIPS QUOTES III
quotations about lips
A quiet smile played around his lips,
As the eddies and dimples of the tide
Play round the bows of ships.

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Her lippes, erst like the corall redde,
Did waxe both wan and pale.

Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life ...

Like the petals of the Rose
When the dews their scent disclose,
Soft as velvet tho' they be,
Fragrant of the Dawn and thee,
Yet thy lips are sweeter far
Than all garden Roses are.

Her eager sense delighted, fondly sips
Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

And our hearts' music is intensely blent,
I'll lay me on thy lap, and cry--Content!

There, the brows of mild repression--there, the lips of silent passion,
Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.

As fills the rose in which a fairy sleeps.
