I passed an inland cliff precipitate	A
From tiny caves peeped many a soot black poll	B
In each a mother martin sat elate	A
And of the news delivered her small soul	B
	-
Fantastic chatter hasty glad and gay	C
Whereof the meaning was not ill to tell	D
Gossip how wags the world with you to day	C
Gossip the world wags well the world wags well	D
	-
And heark'ning I was sure their little ones	E
Were in the bird talk and discourse was made	F
Concerning hot sea bights and tropic suns	E
For a clear sultriness the tune conveyed	F
	-
And visions of the sky as of a cup	G
Hailing down light on pagan Pharaoh's sand	H
And quivering air waves trembling up and up	G
And blank stone faces marvellously bland	H
	-
When should the young be fledged and with them hie	I
Where costly day drops down in crimson light	J
Fortunate countries of the firefly	K
Swarm with blue diamonds all the sultry night	J
	-
And the immortal moon takes turn with them	L
When should they pass again by that red land	H
Where lovely mirage works a broidered hem	L
To fringe with phantom palms a robe of sand	H
	-
When should they dip their breasts again and play	C
In slumberous azure pools clear as the air	M
Where rosy winged flamingoes fish all day	C
Stalking amid the lotus blossom fair	M
	-
Then over podded tamarinds bear their flight	J
While cassias blossom in the zone of calms	N
And so betake them to a south sea bight	J
To gossip in the crowns of cocoa palms	N
	-
Whose roots are in the spray O haply there	M
Some dawn white winged they might chance to find	O
A frigate standing in to make more fair	M
The loneliness unaltered of mankind	O
	-
A frigate come to water nuts would fall	P
And nimble feet would climb the flower flushed strand	H
While northern talk would ring and there withal	P
The martins would desire the cool north land	H
	-
And all would be as it had been before	Q
Again at eve there would be news to tell	P
Who passed should hear them chant it o'er and o'er	R
Gossip how wags the world ' 'Well gossip well '	-
