Love
Margaret
From The Cornflower, and Other Poems (1906)
Love
Her eyes--upon a summer's day
God's skies are not more blue than they.
Her hair--you've seen a sunbeam bold
Made up of just such threads of gold.
Her cheek--the leaf which nearest grows
The dewy heart of June's red rose.
Her mouth--full lipped, and subtly sweet
As briar drowned in summer heat.
Her heart--December's chill and snow--
Heaven pity me, who love her so!
