CXII. KISSING THE THIMBLE.

I kissed the thimble my true love wore,
My love that lies in the grave,
My love with the dainty little hand,
With a heart in it true and brave.
My love! my love! my dear dear love,
So womanly pure and bright,
With a laugh like heavenly music,
With a smile like the morning light,
With a kiss like heaven's fulfilment,
Come down to my touch and sight!
