Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 31

XXXI BLUE AND WHITE
Blue is Our Lady's colour,White is Our Lord's.To-morrow I will wear a knotOf blue and white cords,That you may see it, where you rideAmong 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!
