MARTIN MacDERMOTT (1823- )
GIRL OF THE RED MOUTH
GIRL of the red mouth, Love me ! Love me ! Girl of the red mouth, Love me 1 'Tis by its curve, I know, Love fashioneth his bow, And bends it—ah, even so !
Oh, girl of the red mouth, love me !
Girl of the blue eye,
Love me ! Love me ! Girl of the dew eye,
Love me! Worlds hang for lamps on high; And thought's world lives in thy Lustrous and tender eye —
Oh, girl of the blue eye, love me !
Girl of the swan's neck,
Love rne ! Love me ! Girl of the swan's neck,
Love me ! As a marble Greek doth grow To his steed's back of snow, Thy white neck sits thy shoulder so,—
Oh, girl of the swan's neck, love me ! |
