BARBERRIES

BARBERRIES
clustering on the bare walls,
What is the beauty with which
you glow?
What are the blushes of secrets
you know?
Flaming each spot where my footstep falls,
Barberries clustering on the bare walls. |

Barberries clustering on the bare walls,
I know two lips as red as your
red;
Two cheeks as blushing with love
unsaid,
A heart whose glowing your glow recalls;
Barberries clustering on the bare walls. |

Flame with it, flame with it, over your walls,
Whisper my love of it, round the
bleak year;
’Till love makes summer
of winter drear,
And heart holds heart in the sweetest of thralls;
Barberries clustering on the bare walls. |
