The Same Poem (of the same woman)

A Romantic’s View

Gold is the colour of my true love’s hair

As she raises up her glass,

And the candle shines through the red wine’s glow

And the evenings gently pass.

Green is the colour of my true love’s eyes,

Eyes that I can’t resist,

They glow through the smoke of her cigarette

Like jade through the morning mist.

A Realist’s View

Red is the colour of a June blossomed rose

When plucked from its briar’s posy-

But Red is the colour of my true love’s nose

When she been at the Rouge or Rosé.

Yellow is the colour of the drawing sun

That creeps where the frost still lingers,

But yellow is the colour of my true love’s thumb

And brown is the colour of her fingers.
