Chanson A Ring of gold and a milk-white dove Are goodly gifts for thee, And a hempen rope for your own love To hang upon a tree. For you a House of Ivory (Roses are white in the rose-bower)! A narrow bed for me to lie (White, O white, is the hemlock flower)! Myrtle and jessamine for you (O the red rose is fair to see)! For me the cypress and the rue (Fairest of all is rose-mary)! For you three lovers of your hand (Green grass where a man lies dead)! For me three paces on the sand (Plant lilies at my head)! Oscar Wild
