Seven Times One
5 There's no dew left on the daisies and c clover, 1 There's no rain left in heaven; ® I've said my "seven times" over and over, Seven times one are seven. [ O moon! In the night I have seen you sailing, g And shining so round and low; a You were bright, ah, bright! but your . light is failing— g You are nothing now but a bow. e You moon, have you done something e wrong in heaven, That God has hidden your faceT e I hope, if you have, you will soon be s forgiven. And shine attain in your place.
O velvet bee, you're a dxisty fellow, You've powdered your legs with gold! O brave marsh marybuds, rich and yellow, Give me your money to hold. O columbine, open your golden wrapper, Where two twin turtle-doves dwell; 0 cuckoo-pint, toll me the purple clapper That hangs in your clear, green bell. And show me your nest with the young ones in it; I will not steal them away; 1 am. old, you may trust me, linnet, linnet, I am seven times one to-day.
