NIGHTINGALE


Oh Nightingale, my dearestOh Nightingale, my dearest

May I in Shakespeare's Cathedral raise a tone

A symphony of mind's best;

Tenderly, melodious if not to the climax,

The Chamberlain's wine for a passionate appeal,

A dance drill for a merry heart.


I should ask for more of these

A favor greater than the chicken's brain;

May we in this hope stay

To avoid the tortoise and vulture's play

The baboon's charade a thousand meters aside

For this journey shall go beyond the riverside.
