A thimbleful of milk


Come, come unto me
My dear one oh my dove
There is no spot on thee
No blemish that i see
Your teeth are flocks of sheep
Abathed in camphire sweet
Your lips are mine to greet
Your tongue my sugared meat
Sky so blue!
Rivulating undulating summer shadows
Stars are glittering lace easter bonnets
Upon dew upon dew
Set me as a seal upon your heart
As a seal upon your brow
For love defies our death
Rerenders us somehow
The bone that binds our brains
Becomes a goblet deep
Birds lay it on a bough
And rock their eggs to sleep
Sky so blue!
Rivulating undulating summer shadows
Stars are glittering lace easter bonnets
Upon dew upon dew
Come untie my knotted soul
And loosen my bound feet
Unbelt our girdled joy
A joy not ours to keep
Come trim your bearded bride
I laugh at your brown hide
As smooth as otter shells
And softly ring your bells
The navel shines of silk
A thimbleful of milk

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics A THIMBLEFUL OF MILK of JOSEPHINE FOSTER is also present in the album This coming gladness (2008)
