DEEP LONGING by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON

First Line: MAY'S GREETING, THE FIRST CATKINS
Last Line: FOR MY LOVE TO WEAR.
Subject(s): LONGING;
May's greeting, the first catkins,
I break you and I take you
To make my old hat fair.

May's greeting, the first catkins,
I broke you once and took you
For my love to wear.
