First Line: I beg the pardon of these flowers
Last Line: By love's own music, softly played.
Subject(s): Flowers; Lilacs
I BEG the pardon of these flowers
For bringing them to one whose hair
Alone doth shame, beyond compare,
The sweetest blooms of richest bowers.
I beg the pardon of this maid
For offering them with hand less pure,
A heart less perfect, needing cure
By Love's own music, softly played.
