'FLOWERS nodding gaily, scent in air, Flowers posied, flowers for the hair, Sleepy flowers, flowers bold to stare----' 'O pick me some!' 'Shells with lip, or tooth, or bleeding gum, Tell-tale shells, and shells that whisper Come, Shells that stammer, blush, and yet are dumb----' 'O let me hear.' 'Eyes so black they draw one trembling near, Brown eyes, caverns flooded with a tear, Cloudless eyes, blue eyes so windy clear----' 'O look at me!' 'Kisses sadly blown across the sea, Darkling kisses, kisses fair and free, Bob-a-cherry kisses 'neath a tree----' 'O give me one!' Thus sand a king and queen in Babylon.
