Love
A Wish
Translated by George Sigerson (1907) · From Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907)
Love
I would the Apple-bloom I were,
Or the little daisy only,
Or red rose in the garden, where
Thou'rt wont to wander lonely,
In hope some day thine eyes would stay
And or my flow'rets choose some,
To bear in thy bright hand away
Or wear in thy sweet bosom.
