THE TELEPHONE

"When I was just as far as I could walk

From here to-day,

There was an hour

All still

When leaning with my head against a flower

I heard you talk.

Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say--

You spoke from that flower on the window sill--

Do you remember what it was you said?"

"First tell me what it was you thought you heard."

"Having found the flower and driven a bee away,

I leaned my head,

And holding by the stalk,

I listened and I thought I caught the word--

What was it? Did you call me by my name?

Or did you say--

_Someone_ said 'Come'--I heard it as I bowed."

"I may have thought as much, but not aloud."

"Well, so I came."
