Part 2 — AFTER TWO YEARS
Reading edition
She is all so slight And tender and white As a May morning. She walks without hood At dusk. It is good To hear her sing.
It is God's will That I shall love her still As He loves Mary. And night and day I will go forth to pray That she love me.
She is as gold Lovely, and far more cold. Do thou pray with me, For if I win grace To kiss twice her face God has done well to me.
Richard Aldington [1892-
