Jasmine is sweet, and has many loves.
Jasmine is sweet, and has many loves.
The moon, the moon, so silver and cold,

The moon, the moon, so silver and cold,
Her fickle temper has oft been told,
Now shade--now bright and sunny--
But of all the lunar things that change,
The one that shows most fickle and strange,
And takes the most eccentric range,
Is the moon--so called--of honey!
A man perfect to the finger tips.
A man perfect to the finger tips.
Oh, God! that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap!
Oh, God! that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap!
And daisy-stars, whose firmament is green.
And daisy-stars, whose firmament is green.
