Mistletoe (Poem)
"Mistletoe" is a short poem by Walter de la Mare that draws readers into a hushed, candlelit room where dancers have gone and shadows gather. The speaker sits alone beneath the pale-green mistletoe, drowsy and half-dreaming, when something — or someone — steals a kiss. De la Mare builds a delicate tension between the real and the imagined, leaving it beautifully uncertain whether the kiss came from a living visitor or a presence altogether more mysterious.
