Random Poem of the Day

1My heart is like a singing bird
2      Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;
3My heart is like an apple-tree
4      Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
5My heart is like a rainbow shell
6      That paddles in a halcyon sea;
7My heart is gladder than all these
8      Because my love is come to me.
9Raise me a dais of silk and down;
10      Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
11Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
12      And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
13Work it in gold and silver grapes,
14      In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
15Because the birthday of my life
16      Is come, my love is come to me.
