Arise! Break fast m’lord dawn is nigh, <br />The dell awakens to the cockerel’s crow anon. <br />Durst thou hide, beneath thy tapestry, <br />Whilst I crumble to dust in my burial chamber? <br />Love of my life I beseech you come, <br />Be fain to meet me ere the church bell chimes at daybreak, <br />Forsooth there’s none to blame evermore. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2011 Caryl Ramsdale.
