I MY dreams of you are sombre in the twilight | |
| As a hedge of bramble growing interlaced— | |
| A straggling little hedge with scarlet berries, | |
| Sharp to the touch, and bitter to the taste. | |
| |
II This is my wrong to you, O man that I love— | 5 |
| I who had all to give | |
| And would have held back naught thereof, | |
| I whom love taught to live, | |
| |
| When you asked for a loaf of my baking, | |
| And a bit of blossomy spray, | 10 |
| Gave only these for your taking, | |
| And hid the rest away. | | | | |
