Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Friendship’s Black And White
Work rating: Low

Romance is writ for me with many names
 Of fair loved faces, each page a design
 Blazoned and tinctured, this with saffron flames
 Enshrining fancy, that with opaline
 Rays of mad hopes, half sunlight, half moonshine,
 This last with the sole gold of passionate blames
 Enjoyed and harvested and made divine
 By Love`s long memory far outlasting Fame`s.
 --Leave it untouched, the rose--sweet manuscript.
 Youth lies asleep in it, its spellbound knight.
 Turn not the leaves lest he should wake dismayed.
 This page alone stands open, unequipped
 Of any hue save friendship`s black and white,
 Named with one name that needs not be afraid.
