Be My Sweetheart

© Eugene Field

Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
  When birds are on the wing,
When bee and bud and babbling flood
  Bespeak the birth of spring,
Come, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
  And wear this posy-ring!

Is burning in the black of spring.

  Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with head of bison.

  Struck for their hoards and their hearths and their homes.

As he made an equal edge along
One side of the blade and the other one,
And polished the surface till it shone.

sweet eyes of my child, through which there takes flight
something as good or as tender as night.
Turn to mine your charmed shadows, sweet eyes!

The word of the Lord by night
To the watching Pilgrims came,
As they sat by the seaside,
And filled their hearts with flame.
