Oxford Book of English Verse 1250-1918/Blue and White
882
Blue and White
BLUE is Our Lady's colour,
White is Our Lord's
To-morrow I will wear a knot
Of blue and white cords,
That you may see it, where you ride
Among the flashing swords.

O banner, white and sunny blue,
With prayer I wove thee!
For love the white, for faith the heavenly hue,
And both for him, so tender-true,
Him that doth love me!
