Chanson

A ring of gold and a milk-white dove

Are goodly gifts for thee，

And a hempen^{1 rope for your own love}

To hang upon a tree.

For you a House of Ivory，

（Roses are white in the rose-bower）！

A narrow bed for me to lie，

（White， O white， is the hemlock^{2 flower）！}

Myrtle and jessamine for you，

（O the red rose is fair to see）！

For me the cypress^{3 and the rue4，}

（Finest of all is ro百度竞价推广ary）！

For you three lovers of your hand，

（Green grass where a man lies dead）！

For me three paces on the sand，

（Plant lilies at my head）！
