I envy every circlet Matches base text
Language: English
I envy every circlet on your arm, I envy every flower in your hair; O Love, the deep delight that each must know The hours they linger there! I envy every jewel on your throat, And every bloom you crush beneath your feet. O Love, would I might learn their magic joy, Their rapture wild and sweet!
