    Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Florence A. Marshall.

• Along the grass sweet airs are blown,
• Our way this day in Spring.
• Of all the songs that we have known,
page: 3  
• Now which one shall we sing?
• Not that, my love, ah no!
• Not this, my love? why so!
page: 4  
• Yet both were ours, but hours will come and go.

• The grove is all a pale frail mist,
• The new year sucks the sun,
• 10Of all the kisses that we kissed
• Now which shall be the one?
page: 5  
• Not that, my love, ah no!
• Not this my love? heigh-ho
• For all the sweets that all the winds can blow!

page: 6  
• The branches cross above our eyes,
• The skies are in a net.
• And what's the thing beneath the skies
• We two would most forget.
• Not birth, my love, no no,
page: 7  
• 20Not death, my love, no no,
• The love once ours, but ours long hours ago.
• but ours long hours ago.
