Love

Blue and White

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Love

Blue is Our Lady's colour,
White is Our Lord's,
To-morrow I will wear a knot
Of blue and white cords,
That you may see it, where you ride
Among the flashing swords.

O banner, white and sunny blue,
With prayer I wove thee!
For love the white, for faith the heavenly hue,
And both for him, so tender-true,
Him that doth love me!
