“I have loved colours, and not flowers;
Their motion, not the swallows wings;
And wasted more than half my hours
Without the comradeship of things.”

“Sweet, can I sing you the song of your kisses?
How soft is this one, how subtle this is,

As a bird that taps at a leafy lattice;
How this one clings and how that uncloses
From bud to flower in the way of roses.”
