Philander's Song
Original Text
Selected Poems of Sir Charles G. D. Roberts (Toronto: Ryerson, 1936): 156. PS 8485 O22A17 Robarts Library.
2 Moved by the gay, delicious measure
3I mused that lips were made for love,
4 And love to charm a poet's leisure.
5And as I mused a maid came by
6 With something in her look that caught me.
7Forgotten was Anacreon's line,
8 But not the lesson he had taught me.
