English poem
Lords-And-Ladies
by W. B. Rands
Lords-and-ladies, red and white, By the river growing, Red-and-white is my delight, When the stream is flowing.
I will be a lord to-day (Round the world is going), Will you be a lady gay? (Roses, roses blowing).
“I will be your lady fair, If you will show duty:” I will love beyond compare, You shall be my beauty.
Lords-and-ladies, red and white, By the river growing; Red-and-white is my delight, When the stream is flowing.
