FANTASY
Blood Flower
"Roses at first were white - Till they could not agree,
Whether my Sappho's breast - Or they more white should be.
But, being vanquish'd quite, - A blush their cheeks bespread ;
Since which, believe the rest, - The roses first came red."
Ice & Coal
"Is it thy will thy image should keep open
My heavy eyelids to the weary night?
Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken,
While shadows like to thee do mock my sight?"
Yellow Rose
"And we'll sing our sorrows o'er
And the yellow Rose of Texas
shall be mine forever more"
Blue Wave
"And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee."
Green Eyes
"Those Green Eyes with the soft lights,
Your eyes that promise sweet nights,
Bring to my soul a longing,
A thirst for love divine."
Purple Mountain
"O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!"
Brown Sugar
"No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest.."
