Breath

Her breath is like the fragrant breeze,
That gently stirs the blossom’d bean,
When Phœbus sinks beneath the seas.
—Robert Burns

Breath like the sweets from the hawthorn tree.
—Barry Cornwall

Her breath
Like a soft western wind, when it glides o’er
Arabia, creating gums and spices.
—Philip Massinger

A breath,
Hot as the blasts that dried old seas.
—Isaac R. Pennypacker

Breath like morn’s young breeze.
—Pilpay
