Work rating: Medium


.            A RING of gold and a milk-white dove                Are goodly gifts for thee,              And a hempen rope for your own love                To hang upon a tree.              For you a House of Ivory                (Roses are white in the rose-bower)!              A narrow bed for me to lie                (White, O white, is the hemlock flower)!              Myrtle and jessamine for you                (O the red rose is fair to see)!                                    For me the cypress and the rue                (Fairest of all is rose-mary)!              For you three lovers of your hand                (Green grass where a man lies dead)!              For me three paces on the sand                (Plant lilies at my head)!
