MY Love shall be a Lady born Who would in full possess my heart, And she'll my love with love adorn, And love me wholly, not in part; For we might sorry, sorry be, If less love fell to her and me. My Love shall own a form of grace, That grace Love-Artist pines to win— The animated form and face That breathes of heart and soul within. So shall my own Love truly be A goddess which enchanteth me. My Love shall mass her wealth of hair O'er fairest brow and glowing cheek Fresh tinted by the woodland air, With blushes playing hide and seek ; And these rare charms shall surely be Sweet bonds endearing her to me. My Love shall look from deep, deep eyes— Wide, open orbs, with drooping lash; Her loving glances meet replies Shall send me, gleaming flash for flash. Sweet, sweet communings these shall be Unto my Lady-love and me. My Love two ruby lips shall own, As ruby-red as red can be; Their ncdtar, sipped by me alone, Shall prove the love she bears for me. Her lips the seal of love shall be To bind her evermore to me. My Love shall own all these beside: White, glistening teeth, a taper chin, A brow, without, both full and wide, A cultivated mind within;— Sweet Paragon of Love, ah me! May I not prove unworthy thee! ROSES. NO garland but roses my darling shall wear ! Roses and roses and roses rare— Roses of white in her raven hair ; Roses of red on her bosom fair ; Roses and roses and roses rare— My darling's a rose, and the posies declare That roses can only with roses compare ; So no wreath but roses my darling shall wear.
