WARDROBE, by                    
First Line: My love gave me a king's robe
Last Line: He wore them instead.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wolff, Mary Evaline


My love gave me a king's robe,
Mock purple and red;
My love gave me a white coat,
A fool's coat, He said;
My love gave me a weft crown
Of thorns for my head.
Because He is my true love
He wore them instead.
