Poems (Radford)/My Love shall be a Cloud, to Float
Songs
I
My love shall be a cloud, to float Across the purple deeps of night,To bear you in a pearly boat, With sails of light.
My love shall be a little breeze That passes through the tallest fir,To blow you o'er the leafy seas, Like gossamer.
My love shall be a petal small That trembles from a jasmine bower,To bring a perfume in its fall, From one sweet flower.
