He'd given me rolling lands,
Houses of marble, and billowing farms,
Pearls, to trickle between my hands,
Smoldering rubies, to circle my arms!.
You- you'd only a lilting song!.
Only a melody, happy and high,
You were sudden and swift and strong,-
Never a thought for another had I!.
He'd have given me laces rare,
Dresses that glimmered with frosty sheen,
Shining ribbons to wrap my hair,
Horses to draw me, as fine as a queen!.
You- you'd only to whistle low,
Gaily i followed wherever you led!.
I took you,and let him go,-
Somebody ought to examine my head!
