The Devon MaidJohn Keats (17951821)
W
And what have ye there in the basket?
Ye tight little fairy just fresh from the dairy,
Will ye give me some cream if I ask it?
And I love your junkets mainly,
But ’hind the door I love kissing more,
O look not so disdainly.
And I love your flocks a-bleating—
But O, on the heather to lie together,
With both our hearts a-beating!
Your shawl I hang up on the willow,
And we will sigh in the daisy’s eye
And kiss on a grass green pillow.
