'We have the receipt of fern seed we walk invisible 'A
-
HENRY IVB
-
And we have met but twice or thriceC
Three times enough to make me loveB
I praised your hair once then your gloveB
Your eyes your gown you were like iceC
And yet this might suffice my loveB
And yet this might sufficeC
-
St John hath told me what to doD
To search and find the ferns that growE
The fern seed that the faeries knowE
Then sprinkle fern seed in my shoeD
And haunt the steps of you my dearF
And haunt the steps of youD
-
You'll see the poppy pods dip hereG
The blow ball of the thistle slipH
And no wind breathing but my lipH
Next to your anxious cheek and earG
To tell you I am near my loveB
To tell you I am nearF
-
On wood ways I shall tread your gownI
You'll know it is no brier thenJ
I'll whisper words of love againJ
And smile to see your quick face frownI
And then I'll kiss it down my dearF
And then I'll kiss it downI
-
And when at home you read or knitK
Who'll know it was my hands that blottedL
The page or all your needles knottedM
When in your rage you cry a bitK
And loud I laugh at it my loveB
And loud I laugh at itK
-
The secrets that you say in prayerN
Right so I'll hear and when you singO
The name you speak and whisperingO
I'll bend and kiss your mouth and hairN
And tell you I am there my dearF
And tell you I am thereN
-
Would it were true what people sayP
Would IQ
couldR
find that elfin seedS
Then should I win your love indeedS
By being near you night and dayP
There is no other way my loveB
There is no other wayP
-
Meantime the truth in this is saidT
It is my soul that follows youD
It needs no fern seed in the shoeD
While in the heart love pulses redT
To win you and to wed my dearF
To win you and to wedT
