Love
To Amanda: Unless with my Amanda blest
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. J. Logie Robertson (1908)
Love
Unless with my Amanda blest,
In vain I twine the woodbine bower ;
Unless to deck her sweeter breast,
In vain I rear the breathing flower.
Awakened by the genial year,
In vain the birds around me sing ;
In vain the freshening fields appear :
Without my love there is no Spring,
