THE CLOVER by MARGARET WADE CAMPBELL DELAND

Poet Analysis

First Line: O RUDDY LOVER / O BRAVE RED CLOVER
Last Line: AND SIGH NO MORE!
Subject(s): CLOVER;
O RUDDY Lover --
O brave red Clover!
Didst think to win her
Thou dost adore?
She will not love thee,
She looks above thee,
The Daisy's gold doth move her more.
If gold can win her,
Then Love 's not in her;
So leave the Sinner,
And sigh no more!
