OH, I love my love in the sunny summer-time With a kiss, or two, or three; Like a rose of June in the full of the moon She is lovely, my love, is she! So I hold her dear, and sing her a rhyme, With a kiss, or two, or three; Like the honey deep in the flower of the thyme So is my love sweet to me! Oh, I love my love in the happy autumn days With a kiss, or four, or five; She laughs like the trees in the swing of the breeze When the last warm breezes drive! So I hold her close, and hymn her praise, With a kiss, or four, or five; Like the golden-rod with its glorious rays, She's the sunniest thing alive! Oh, I love my love in the cheery winter-time With a kiss, or six, or seven; Like the reddening snow in the sunset glow Is her cheery cheek at even! It is all for her, the Christmas chime, With a kiss, or six, or seven; Like the stars of night on the sparkling rime Is my love, whose love is Heaven! Oh, I love my love in the merry vernal morn With a kiss, or eight, or nine; Like the apple bloom and its sweet perfume Is she pink in the sunshine! So she holds my heart when April's born, With a kiss, or eight, or nine; Like the thrush in song on the blossoming thorn Is the love I know is mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NEW YEAR, GOOD-MORNING! by ALEXANDER MACLEAN OLD YEAR, GOOD-NIGHT! by ALEXANDER MACLEAN SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 91 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
