Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 31
XXXIBLUE AND WHITE
Blue is Our Lady's colour, White is Our Lord's.To-morrow I will wear a knot Of blue and white cords,That you may see it, where you ride Among the flashing swords.
·····
O banner, white and sunny blue, With prayer I wove thee!For love the white, for faith the heavenly hue,And both for him, so tender-true, Him that doth love me!
