First Line: I have two loves, and one is dark

Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Country Life; London
I have two loves, and one is dark,
The other fair as may be seen;
My dark love is Old London Town,
My fair love is the Country green.
My fair love has a sweeter breath,
A clearer face by day; and nights
So wild with stars that dazzled I
See multitudes of other lights.
My dark love has her domes, as round
As mushrooms in my fair love's meadows;
While both my loves have houses old,
Whose windows look cross-eyed at shadows.
