Franz Grillparzer - A Kiss

A hand is to be kissed respectfully,
The forehead solemnly, with friendship,
The cheeks with the pleasure of greeting,
And the lips be kissed with loving ardour,
The eyes one kisses with languor,
The palm of your hand,
the neck and arms with passionate desire,
And with a rising frenzy
All the rest is to be kissed.

Franz Grillparzer (1791 - 1872) Austria
