your little voice | |
|
Over the wires came leaping | |
|
and i felt suddenly | |
|
dizzy | |
| 5 |
With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers |
|
wee skipping high-heeled flames | |
|
courtesied before my eyes | |
|
or twinkling over to my side | |
|
Looked up | |
| 10 |
with impertinently exquisite faces |
|
floating hands were laid upon me | |
|
I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing | |
|
up | |
|
Up | |
| 15 |
with the pale important |
|
stars and the Humorous | |
|
moon | |
|
dear girl | |
|
How i was crazy how i cried when i heard | |
| 20 |
over time |
|
and tide and death | |
|
leaping | |
|
Sweetly | |
|
your voice |
