NO rubies of red for my lady, No jewel that glitters and charms;-- But the light of the skies, In a little one's eyes, And a necklace of two little arms. Of two little arms that are clinging, (Oh ne'er was a necklace like this!) And the wealth of the world, And love's sweetness impearled, In the joy of a little one's kiss. A necklace of love for my lady, That was linked by the angels above,-- No other but this, And a tender, sweet kiss, That sealeth a little one's love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: LUCINDA MATLOCK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS O MAY, THY MORN by ROBERT BURNS |
