LOVER TO MISTESS (SONG FROM AN OLD COPY), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beckon to me to come
Last Line: Would be enough!


BECKON to me to come
With handkerchief or hand,
Or finger mere or thumb;
Let forecasts be but rough,
Parents more bleak than bland,
'Twill be enough,
Maid mine,
'Twill be enough!

Two fields, a wood, a tree,
Nothing now more malign
Lies between you and me;
But were they bysm, or bluff,
Or snarling sea, one sign
Would be enough,
Maid mine,
Would be enough!
