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 |
