Sing a song of columbines
(Doves within a nest),
Fairer nosegay no lad twines
For his Chloe's breast —
Purple all for lover's pain,
for loyalty,
Take your roses, bring again
for me.
Sing a song of columbines,
and purple-stoled,
Ere the bloom is on the bines,
When the nights are cold —
They watch the roses out,
(Rose though Chloe be —
What care I if Chloe flout?)
for me.
