LOVE AND A DAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: In girandoles of gladioles
Last Line: "all on a summer's morning."
Subject(s): Love


IN girandoles of gladioles
The day had kindled flame;
And Heaven a door of gold and pearl
Unclosed when Morning — like a girl,
A red rose twisted in a curl —
Down sapphire stairways came.
Said I to Love: "What must I do?
What shall I do? What can I do?"
Said I to Love: "What must I do?
All on a summer's morning."

Said Love to me: "Go woo, go woo."
Said Love to me: "Go woo,
If she be milking, follow, O!
And in the clover hollow, O!
While through the dew the bells clang clear,
Just whisper it into her ear,
All on a summer's morning."
