Many of the love poems have a gentle sweetness to them which is so engaging. "Meet Me in the Green Glen" beautifully intertwines love and nature. I especially enjoyed the lovely final verse:

Meet me by the sweet briar,
By the mole hill swelling there;
When the West glows like a fire
God's crimson bed is there.
Meet me in the green glen.
