GOLDEN EYES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ah, golden eyes, to win you yet
Last Line: Ah, golden eyes!
Subject(s): Courtship; Flowers


AH, Golden Eyes, to win you yet,
I bring mine April coronet,
The lovely blossoms of the spring,
For you I weave, to you I bring:
These roses with the lilies wet,
The dewy dark-eyed violet,
Narcissus, and the wind-flower wet.
Wilt thou disdain mine offering,
Ah, Golden Eyes?
Crowned with thy lover's flowers, forget
The pride wherein thy heart is set,
For thou, like these or anything,
Hast but thine hour of blossoming,
Thy spring, and then -- the long regret,
Ah, Golden Eyes!
