Two Smiles-Two Blooms - A poem by John Edward Everett

Two Smiles^___Two Blooms

A rosebush in my garden smiled;
I plucked the smile to place it
Upon the bosom of my Love,
To ornament and grace it.

Her lips, like petals parting, bloomed;
The bloom^___she could not miss it^___
I plucked, as to her mouth I bent
My whiskered own, to kiss it.
