| |
| 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 | 5 |
| 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! | 10 |
| But I do know where, out of sight, | |
| My sweetheart keeps a warmer white. | |
