LOVE'S ROSARY
by: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)
 OVE'S rosary is ours this holiday,
So let us worship Eros, Lord of bliss.
Let me be priest and teach you as we pray
Love's rosary.
The first fair golden globe denotes a kiss,
Curve your sweet lips the proper churchly way,
And you must lie within my arms at this.
Keep all the rites! It will not do to miss
A single bead in all the long array.
Ah, sweet, we'll tell on every day, I wis,
Love's rosary.
