    An exquisite invention this,
    Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,--
    This art of writing billet-doux--
    In buds, and odors, and bright hues!
    In saying all one feels and thinks
    In clever daffodils and pinks;
    In puns of tulips; and in phrases,
    Charming for their truth, of daisies.

Letters, from absent friends, extinguish fear,
Unite division, and draw distance near;
Their magic force each silent wish conveys,
And wafts embodied though, a thousand ways:
Could souls to bodies write, death's pow'r were mean,
For minds could then meet minds with heav'n between.

The welcome news is in the letter found;

It speaks itself, read more

The welcome news is in the letter found;
The carrier's not commission'd to expound;
It speaks itself, and what it does contain,
In all things needful to be known is plain.

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.
