116. GIBBERISH

Many a flower have I seen blossom,

Many a bird for me will sing.

Never heard I so sweet a singer,

Never saw I so fair a thing.

She is a bird, a bird that blossoms,

She is a flower, a flower that sings;

And I a flower when I behold her,

And when I hear her, I have wings.

_Mary E. Coleridge._
