Blue and White

BLUE is Our Lady's colour,
White is Our Lord's
To-morrow I will wear a knot
  Of blue and white cords,
That you may see it, where you ride
  Among 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!
