Poems (Rossetti, 1901)/Song (Two doves upon the selfsame branch)

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

SONG.

TWO doves upon the selfsame branch,
 Two lilies on a single stem,
Two butterflies upon one flower:—
 Oh happy they who look on them.

Who look upon them hand in hand
 Flushed in the rosy summer light;
Who look upon them hand in hand
 And never give a thought to night
