Brown Penny
| I whispered, ‘I am too young,’ | | And then, ‘I am old enough’; | | Wherefore I threw a penny | | To find out if
I might love. | | ‘Go and love, go and love, young man, | | If the lady be young and fair.’ | | Ah, penny, brown
penny, brown penny, | | I am looped in the loops of her hair. | | | | | | O love is the crooked thing, | | There is nobody
wise enough | | To find out all that is in it, | | For he would be thinking of love | | Till the stars had run away | | And
the shadows eaten the moon. | | Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, | | One cannot begin it too soon. |
