Fruits a many and flowers. few.
Fiery dahlias dropped in dew,
Wood-grown astern faint as smoke,
Flame of maple, frOnd of oak.

Orient laces light as mist,
Amber wells and amethyst.
Ovory pine like hardened milk.

Dark with sardius sunk in gold.
Buy my gloves of spiders spun
Cool as water. warm as sun.
Buy my shoon of yellow feathers
Lined with fir and owlet-feathers,
Buy a chain Of emerald stones
Or scarlet seeds or cedar cones.
Ali sweet dedicate things there be
Honest folk may buy of me.

In my hand the creakets sing.
And the moons my golden. ring.
