An exquisite invention this,
Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,--
This art of writing billet-doux--

In puns of tulips; and in phrases,
Charming for their truth, of daisies.

A piece of simple goodness--a letter gushing from the heart; a
beautiful unstudied vindication of the worth and untiring

I will touch
My mouth unto the leaves, caressingly;
And so wilt thou. Thus, from these lips of mine
My message will go kissingly to thine,
With more than Fancy's load of luxury,
And prove a true love-letter.
