The Fairy Prince
Stare with eyes more yellow than gold
When the noon sun sends the clouds away.
And at twilight time, with gaze as bold,
They watch the pomps of sunset pass.

And sleepless under the starlit skies
They listen and look with their petals wide,
For though the moon be lost for hours,
(Hidden behind her high cloud towers)
A brown bird sings by the river-side.
Forget-me-nots are my favourite flowers,
Love, because they are like your eyes.
