Analysis of O sweet and fair! These words are mine to use
Lesbia Harford 1891 (Brighton) – 1927 (Australia)
O sweet and fair! These words are mine to use.
O sweet and fair! A year ago I'ld choose
Some better words of praise
Than sweet and fair.
O sweet and fair, and weak, and most untrue!
O sweet and fair! I still may speak of you
After my year of pain
As sweet and fair.
