Valse Jeune

by Louise Imogen Guiney

Are favoring ladies above thee?   Are there dowries and lands? Do they say Seven others are fair? But I love thee:           Aultre n’auray! All the sea is a lawn in our country;   All the morrow, our star of delay. I am King: let me live on thy bounty!           Aulture n’auray! To the fingers so light and so rosy   That have pinioned my heart,(welladay!) Be a kiss, be a ring with this posy:           Aultre n’auray!
