THE LOVER'S POSY by RUFINUS

First Line: I SEND A GARLAND TO MY LOVE
Last Line: SO MUST YOU TOO, HAUGHTY MAID.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; HEARTS; LOVE; MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; ROSES; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;

I SEND a garland to my love
Which with my own hands I wove:
Rose and lily here there be
Twined with cool anemone,
White narcissus, dewy wet,
And the purple violet.
Take and bind it on your brow,
Nor be proud, as you are now.
As the flowers bloom and fade,
So must you too, haughty maid.
