Lady Mine
Blanche E. Holt Murison.
1908

Lo ! I bring a votive flower,
Lady mine !
To adorn your trellised bower,
Lady mine !
And the fragrance it encloses,
Is the perfume of the roses,
And the breath of the eglantine.

Won't you take my votive flower?
Lady mine !
To your fair encloistered bower,
Lady mine !
'Twas in Arcady I sought it,
'Twas from Arcady I brought it,
And I lay it at your shrine,
Lady mine !

I am waiting, I am waiting,
Lady mine !
For your sweet capitulating,
Lady mine !
Birds are wooing in their covers,
All the world is full of lovers,
Won't you be my Valentine?
Lady mine !
