Dear Lilac how enchanting	A
To hear of you this way	B
The Man who comes a mouching	A
To visit me each day	B
	-
Says you too have a lover	C
Far lovelier than I	D
And from his rapt description	E
She loves you gloriously	F
	-
The Man prowls out each morning	A
To see if spring's begun	E
What infinite amusement	G
These creatures offer one	E
	-
He asks me such conundrums	H
As no one ever heard	I
The name of April's father	C
The trail of every bird	I
	-
What keeps me warm in winter	C
Who wakes me up in time	J
And why procrastination	E
Is such a fearful crime	J
	-
And yet who knows He may be	F
Our equal ages hence	H
With such pathetic glimmers	H
Of weird intelligence	H
	-
But this your blessed alien	E
Why strays she roving here	K
Was Orpheus not her brother	C
Persephone her peer	L
	-
Was she not once a dryad	I
Whom Syrinx lulled to sleep	M
Beside the Dorian water	C
And still her eyelids keep	M
	-
The glad unperished secret	I
From centuries of joy	N
And memories of the morning	A
When Helen sailed for Troy	N
	-
Is her name Gertrude Kitty	I
Hypatia or what	I
I seem to half remember	C
And yet have quite forgot	I
	-
That soft Hellenic laughter	C
I marvel you don't make	A
An effort to be early	I
In budding for her sake	A
	-
Just fancy hearing daily	I
That velvet voice of hers	H
How do you quell the riot	I
Of sap her coming stirs	H
	-
Perhaps she puts her face up	O
Dear Charity she is	H
For messages of summer	C
And better worlds than this	H
	-
You cannot blush poor Lilac	A
It is not in your race	H
I simply should go crimson	E
If I were in your place	H
	-
Do tell her all your secrets	H
The Man declares she knows	H
Better than any mortal	P
The wonder trick of prose	H
	-
Our prose I mean how beauty	I
Appears to you and me	I
The truth that seems so simple	P
Which they call poetry	I
	-
They put it down in writing	A
And label it with tags	H
The funny conscious people	P
Who mask in colored rags	H
	-
They have a thing called science	H
With phrases strange and pat	I
My dear can you imagine	E
Intelligence like that	I
	-
And when they first discover	C
That yellows are not greens	H
They pucker up their foreheads	H
And ponder what it means	H
	-
And then those cave like places	H
Churches and Capitols	H
Where they all come together	C
Like troops of talking dolls	H
	-
To govern as they term it	I
It's really very odd	I
And have what they call worship	O
Of something they call God	I
	-
But Kitty or whatever	C
May be her tender name	Q
Is more like us She guesses	H
What sets the year aflame	Q
	-
She knows beyond her senses	H
Do tell her all you can	R
The funny people need it	I
At least so says The Man	R
	-
Good by dear I must idle	P
Sweet suns and happy rains	H
How nice to have these humans	H
With their inventive brains	H
	-
Their little scraps of paper	C
They certainly evince	H
Remarkable discernment	I
Your ever loving Quince	H
