All in Green My Love Went Riding
Today’s poetry was written by E.E. Cummings and published in Tulips and Chimneys in 1923. This poem is thought to be an allusion to Chaucer’s The Knights Tale.
All in Green My Love Went Riding
All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.
four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the merry deer ran before.
Fleeter be they than dappled dreams
the swift sweet deer
the red rare deer.
Horn at hip went my love riding
riding the echo down
into the silver dawn.
