A Little Romance In May

I had thought to bring you oranges,
Or a tiny pearl to dangle
At the hollow of your throat,
A kiss away from where my heart would be,
To dream of in the night
When you are fast asleep,
Or violets to stay with you
When I am gone away,
Or purple ribbons!
They to tie your hair
Which in its own way falls
To lie against your face
As so would I.

I had thought to do these things
And someday will,
But for today I only brought a tear,
A smile,words said in the setting sun,
And then the night.
