O lurcher-loving collier, black as night

L. Berkeley

O lurcher-loving collier, black as night,

Follow your love across the smokeless hill;

Your lamp is out, the cages are all still;

Course for heart and do not miss,

For Sunday soon is past and, Kate, fly not so fast,

For Monday comes when none may kiss:

Be marble to his soot, and to his black be white.
