To a minuature

M. Brahe

Drest in your gown of blue brocade,

A rose upon each dainty shoe,

Lady in loveliness arrayed,

I'd love to dance with you.

Soft powder'd hair and wistful face,

Shy dreaming of gentleness and grace,

My heart's aflame for you.

Come with your gay and gallant train

To the haunts that once you knew,

Smile on your worshippers again,

And let me kneel to you.

Drest in your gown of blue brocade,

A rose upon each dainty shoe,

Lady in loveliness arrayed,

I'd love to dance with you!
