A WOMAN'S SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Glad and fair is my young love
Last Line: Make me worth his whole desire!
Alternate Author Name(s): Hooker, Brian


Glad and fair is my young love,
He to whom my pulses move,
He whose pleasure I obey --
Glad as dawn, and fair as day.

Very strong and sweet is he
That hath lordship over me --
He to whom I all am given --
Strong as death, and sweet as heaven.

Mary Mother, grant me this
Only, out of all thy bliss:
Let his longing never tire --
(He whose lips are ice and fire --)
Make me worth his whole desire!
