Bid adieu, adieu, adieu, Bid adieu to girlish days, Happy Love is come to woo Thee and woo thy girlish ways -- - The zone that doth become thee fair, The snood upon thy yellow hair, When thou hast heard his name upon The bugles of the cherubim Begin thou softly to unzone Thy girlish bosom unto him And softly to undo the snood That is the sign of maidenhood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JASPER by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON FLOWER GUIDANCE by ROBERT FROST THE FRUIT GARDEN PATH by AMY LOWELL THE MIDDLETON PLACE by AMY LOWELL SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
