LOVE SONG, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "lavender's blue, diddle, diddle" Last Line: Out of harm's way | |||
LAVENDER'S blue, diddle, diddle, Lavender's green; When I am king, diddle, diddle, You shall be queen. Who told you so, diddle, diddle, Who told you so? 'T was mine own heart, diddle, diddle, That told me so. Call up your men, diddle, diddle, Set them to work, Some to the plough, diddle, diddle, Some to the fork. Some to make hay, diddle, diddle, Some to reap corn, Whilst you and I, diddle, diddle, Keep the bed warm. Roses are red, diddle, diddle, Violets are blue; Because you love me, diddle, diddle, I will love you. Let the birds sing, diddle, diddle, And the lambs play; We shall be safe, diddle, diddle, Out of harm's way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
