So Warmly Laid

O Lady, let us not tarry Be thou the rose to spread nights’ glee. Away from jousts, your pearls shalt shine, Spring’s boughs hath me in love, entwined! Knight’s offer then, I giveth fine life Through long winter, the heart a knife; Sayeth yes before looms the war Chivalry tests dark rivers far. O, shouldst thou be fair in season’s rest Time awaits thee, I am the quest. In my thoughts, soft lips ne’er waned So let dusk kiss our moments flamed. For onwards unto fields, thine arms Will endure kingdom’s call of drums; I hear thou sigh, so warmly laid. O, let us thrill our moon, dear maid! …………..
