LOVE'S COMPARINGS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Carnations and lilies are hueless
Last Line: Wherever her feet may fare.
Subject(s): Carnations; Faces; Flowers; Hair; Laughter; Lilies; Love; Spring


CARNATIONS and lilies are hueless
When set by the face of my fair,
And fine-woven gold is but worthless
If weighed with the wealth of her hair;
Through arches of coral passes
Her laughter that banisheth care,
And flowers spring fresh 'mongst the grasses
Wherever her feet may fare.
