Poetry Month, Day 1

[dwgm]

April's poetry month. I haven't been posting much on LJ lately, but I'm going to try to at least post a short poem each day in April.

One of my favorite madrigals when I was in high school...


Francis Pilkington: Have I Found Her (from First Set of Madrigals and Pastorals, 1613)

Have I found her (Oh rich finding!)
Goddesslike for to behold
Her fair tresses seemly binding,
In a chain of pearl and gold?

Chain me, chain me, O most fair,
Chain me to thee with that hair!
