Noons Of Poppy

Topics: classic

Noons of poppy, noons of poppy,     Scarlet leagues along the sea;     Flaxen hair afloat in sunlight,     Love, come down the world to me!     There's a Captain I must ship with,     (Heart, that day be far from now!)     Wears his dark command in silence     With the sea-frost on his brow.     Noons of poppy, noons of poppy,     Purple shadows by the sea;     How should love take thought to wonder     What the destined port may be?     Nay, if love have joy for shipmate     For a night-watch or a year,     Dawn will light o'er Lonely Haven,     Heart to happy heart, as here.     Noons of poppy, noons of poppy,     Scarlet acres by the sea     Burning to the blue above them;     Love, the world is full for me.
