The Poetry Piece for the month of June is a pink and turquoise glass pendant bead named for the poem, In Youth is Pleasure, by Robert Wever (c. 1550). To see more pendants click Pendants.
In a Herber green, asleep where I lay,
The birds sang sweet in the mids of the day;
I dreamed fast of mirth and play.
In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.
Methink I walked still to and fro,
And from her company could not go;
But when I waked it was not so.
In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.
Therefore my heart is purely pight
Of her alone to have a sight,
Which is my joy and heart's delight.
In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.
