THE GREEN MONTH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: What of all the color shall I bring you for your fairing
Last Line: Green I'll wear within my hair, and green upon my heart.
Subject(s): Green (color)


WHAT of all the color shall I bring you for your fairing,
Fit to lay your fingers on, fine enough for you ?­
Yellow for the ripened rye, white for ladies' wearing,
Red for briar-roses, or the skies' own blue ?

Nay, for spring has touched the elm, spring has found the willow,
Winds that call the swallow home sway the boughs apart;
Green shall all my curtains be, green shall be my pillow,
Green I'll wear within my hair, and green upon my heart.
