Love
XVIII
From Hawthorn and Lavender, with Other Verses
Love
Poplar and lime and chestnut
Meet in a living screen;
And there the winds and the sunbeams keep
A revel of gold and green.
O, the green dreams and the golden,
The golden thoughts and green,
This green and golden end of May
My lover and me between!
