And Robin fell in love, I know,

With Phyllis in her calico.

A tuck, a frill, a bias fold,

A hat curved over gipsy-wise,

And beads of coral and of gold,

And rosy cheeks and merry eyes,

Made lassies in that long ago

Look charming in their calico.

The modern knight who loves a maid

Of gracious air and gentle grace,
