What would I give to
see his face?
I′d give – I′d give my life –
of course –
But that is not enough!
Stop just a minute – let me
think!
I′d give my biggest Bobolink!
That makes two – Him – and Life!
You know who ′′June′′ is –
I′d give her –
Roses a day from Zanzibar –
And Lily tubes – like wells –
Bees – by the furlong –
Straits of Blue 
Navies of Butterflies – sailed thro′ –
And dappled Cowslip⠿D⠿ells –

Then I have ′′shares′′ in
Primrose ′′Banks′′ –
Daffodil Dowries – spicy ′′stocks′′ –
Dominions – broad as Dew –
Bags of Doubloons – adventurous

 ¦

Bees
Brought me – from firmamental
seas –
And Purple – from Peru –

Now – have I bought it –
′′Shylock′′? Say!
Sign me the Bond!
′′I vow to pay
To H⠿e⠿r – who pledges this –
One hour – of her Sovereign′s
face′′!
Extatic Contract!
Niggard Grace!
My Kingdom′s worth of Bliss!
