Love
Cean Duhh Deelish
From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)
Put your head, darling, darling, darling,
Your darling black head, my heart above;
O mouth of honey, with thyme for fragrance,
Who, with heart in breast, could deny you love?
O many and many a young girl for me is pining,
Letting her locks of gold to the cold wind free,
For me, the foremost of our gay young fellows;
But I'd leave a hundred, pure love, for thee!
Then put your head, darling, darling, darling,
Your darling black head my heart above;
O mouth of honey, with thyme for fragrance,-
Who with heart in breast could deny you love!
