For his Chloe's breast —
What care I if Chloe flout?)
(Doves within a nest),
White and purple-stoled,
When the nights are cold —
White for loyalty,
Sing a song of columbines
Columbines for me.
Purple all for lover's pain,
Take your roses, bring again
Ere the bloom is on the bines,
They will watch the roses out,
Fairer nosegay no lad twines
Sing a song of columbines,
(Rose though Chloe be —
Columbines for me.
