Douglas Brooke Wheelton Sladen (Дуглас Брук Уилтон Слэйден)

Under the Wattle

"Why should not wattle do
For mistletoe?"
Asked one — they were but two —
Where wattles grow.

He was her lover, too,
Who urged her so —
"Why should not wattle do
For mistletoe?"

A rose-cheek rosier grew;
Rose-lips breathed low;
"Since it is here, and YOU,
I hardly know
Why wattle should not do."
