Dear Sweet Ginger

Dear Sweet Ginger

 

To the Fair Maiden that lived nearby:

 

Dear Sweet Ginger, where are you?

Dear Sweet Ginger, of cheeks of dew.

 

Dear Sweet Ginger, of curls of red.

Dear Sweet Ginger, none with you contend.

 

Dear Sweet Ginger, won’t you come near?

Dear Sweet Ginger, have you no fear,   

 

Of the wicked, of the jealous, and the spiteful,

For I unto you, am ever-vigilant, ever-watchful.

 

Dear Sweet Ginger, of full drawn lips.

Dear Sweet Ginger, won’t you give me a shy kiss?

 

Dear Sweet lady, with an aura so complex;

Sovereign, you set beauty’s lex.

 

Come unto me, near and close.

A phantasmal woman, you are; I shall propose.

 

Dear Sweet Ginger, won’t you remain here forever?

Dear Sweet Red, Sweet love, I leave you, will never.

Author's Note
