Classic and Contemporary Poetry

WITH LILACS by CHARLES HENRY CRANDALL

First Line: I BEG THE PARDON OF THESE FLOWERS
Last Line: BY LOVE'S OWN MUSIC, SOFTLY PLAYED.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LILACS;
I BEG the pardon of these flowers
For bringing them to one whose hair
Alone doth shame, beyond compare,
The sweetest blooms of richest bowers.

I beg the pardon of this maid
For offering them with hand less pure,
A heart less perfect, needing cure
By Love's own music, softly played.
