In the Meadow
Why should I ask of any love

Why should ask of any love
A relic or wreath?
know the sky Is blue above
The meadow green beneath.
And there is no danger hidden
In the lily's snowy sheath.
The roses white or crimson
Shall never make you weep:
The violet shall not wound you
When in velvet wales you reap;
II the poppy hides the poison.
Yet the poppy bringeth sleep.
Then, for the wild, green gardens.
With a blue-bright sky above!
The robins breast is bloody-red
But the white downs on the dove:
And the wide worlds a-bloSsorn
With the lilies Of Gods love!

lieved the Sequin and Warming ton can
be saved without trouble, and possibly
the Minch can be pulled off also. The
