Love

A Primrose Dame

by Gleeson White 1851–1898

From A Victorian Anthology, 1837–1895 (1895)

Love

She has a primrose at her breast,
I almost wish I were a Tory.
I like the Radicals the best;
She has a primrose at her breast;
Now is it chance she so is drest,
Or must I tell a story?
She has a primrose at her breast,
I almost wish I were a Tory.
