WHO said, " Peacock Pie " ?
The old King to the sparrow :
Who said, " Crops are ripe " ?
Rust to the harrow :
Who said, " Where sleeps she now ?
Where rests she now her head,
Bathed in eve's loveliness " ?
That's what I said.
Who said, " Ay, mum's the word " ?
Sexton to willow :
Who said, " Green dusk for dreams,
Moss for a pillow " ?
Who said, " All Time's delight
Hath she for narrow bed ;
Life's troubled bubble broken " ?
That's what I said.
