ing on this baroque couch	A
Upholstered in red velvet under the eye	B
Of uncaged tigers and a tropical moon	C
Set in intricate wilderness of green	D
Heart shaped leaves like catalpa leaves and lillies	E
	-
Of monstrous size like no well bred lilies	E
It seems teh consistent critics wanted you	F
To choose between your world of jungle green	D
And the fashionable monde of the red couch	A
With its prim bric brac without a moon	C
To turn you luminous without the eye	B
	-
Of tigers to be stilled by your dark eye	B
And body whiter than its frill of lilies	E
They'd have had yellow silk screening the moon	C
Leaves and lilies flattened to paper behind you	F
Or at most to a mille fleurs tapestry But the couch	A
Stood stubborn in it's jungle red against green	D
	-
Red against fifty variants of green	D
The couch glared out at the prosaic eye	B
So Rousseau to explain why the red couch	A
Persisted in the picture with the lilies	E
Tigers snakes and the snakecharmer and you	F
And birds of paradise and the round moon	C
	-
Described how you fell dreaming at full of moon	C
On a red velvet couch within your green	D
Tessellared boudoir Hearing flutes you	F
Dreamed yourself away in the moon's eye	B
To a beryl jungle and dreamed that bright moon lilies	E
Nodded their petaled heads around your couch	A
	-
And that Rousseau told the critics was why the couch	A
Accompanied you So they nodded at the couch with the moon	C
And the snakecharmer's song and the gigantic lilies	E
Marvelingly numbered the many shades of green	D
But to a friend in private Rousseau confessed his eye	B
So possessed by the glowing red of the couch which you	F
	-
Yadwigha pose on that he put you on the couch	A
To feed his eye with red such red under the moon	C
In the midst of all that green and those great lilies	E
