Relationships
To Mrs. Mendez' Birthday
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. J. Logie Robertson (1908)
Relationships
Thine is the gentle day of love
When youths and virgins try their fate ;
When, deep retiring to the grove,
Each feathered songster weds his mate.
With tempered beams the skies are bright,
Earth decks in smiles her pleasing face ;
Such is the day that gave thee light,
And speaks as such thy every grace.
