SONG by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: THIS PEACH IS PINK
Last Line: MY SWEETHEART KEEPS A WARMER WHITE.
Subject(s): LIFE; LOVE;
THIS peach is pink with such a pink
As suits the peach divinely;
The cunning color rarely spread
Fades to the yellow finely;
But where to spy the truest pink
Is in my Love's soft cheek, I think.

The snowdrop, child of windy March,
Doth glory in her whiteness;
Her golden neighbors, crocuses,
Unenvious praise her brightness!
But I do know where, out of sight,
My sweetheart keeps a warmer white.
