To my own wan soul and my own wan chin,

And my own wan nose-tip, tilted to sway

The peacock's feather, sweeter than sin,

That I bought for a halfpenny, yesterday?

My long lithe lily, my languid lily,

My lank limp lily-love, how shall I win—

Woo thee to wink at me? Silver lily,

How shall I sing to thee, softly, or shrilly?

What shall I weave for thee—which shall I spin—

Rondel, or rondeau, or virelay?
