RONDEL.
This book of hours Love wrought
With burnished letters gold;
Each page with art and thought,
And colours manifold.
His calendar he taught
To youths and virgins cold;
This book of hours Love wrought
With burnished letters gold.
This priceless book is bought
With sighs and tears untold,
Of votaries who sought
His countenance of old—
This book of hours Love wrought
With burnished letters gold.
Walter Crane.
