Trifles

<SPAN name="startofbook"></SPAN> <h2> Trifles </h2> <p> What shall I bring you, sweet?<br/> A posy prankt with every April hue:<br/> The cloud-white daisy, violet sky-blue,<br/> Shot with the primrose sunshine through and through?<br/> <br/> Or shall I bring you, sweet,<br/> Some ancient rhyme of lovers sore beset,<br/> Whose joy is dead, whose sadness lingers yet,<br/> That you may read, and sigh, and soon forget?<br/> <br/> What shall I bring you, sweet?<br/> Was ever trifle yet so held amiss<br/> As not to fill love's waiting heart with bliss,<br/> And merit dalliance at a long, long kiss?<br/></p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
