'''Come Slowly-Eden! Come slowly Eden! Lips unused to Thee Bashful sip thy Jessamines As the fainting Bee Reaching late his flower, Round her chamber hums Counts his nectars Enters and is lost in Balms. '''Snow flakes. I counted till they danced so Their slippers leaped the town And then I took a pencil To note the rebels down And then they grew so jolly I did resign the prig And ten of my once stately toes Are marshalled for a jig! '''The Moon is distant from the Sea The Moon is distant from the Sea And yet, with Amber Hands She leads Him – docile as a Boy Along appointed Sands He never misses a Degree Obedient to Her eye He comes just so far toward the Town Just so far goes away Oh, Signor, Thine, the Amber Hand And mine the distant Sea Obedient to the least command Thine eye impose on me '''We should not mind so small a flower We should not mind so small a flower Except it quiet bring Our little garden that we lost Back to the Lawn again So spicy her Carnations nod So drunken, reel her Bees So silver, steal a hundred flutes From out a hundred trees That whoso sees this little flower By faith, may clear behold The *Bobolinks around the throne And Dandelions gold. '''Wild nights Wild nights! Wild nights Wild nights! Were I with thee Wild nights should be Our luxury! Futile the winds To a Heart in port Done with the Compass Done with the Chart! Rowing in Eden Ah the Sea! Might I but moor tonight In thee!
