Look out, said Alice, to Imogene,

Red-lipped, bright-eyed, turned eighteen,

You have danced too much on the village green.

Look out for the cornet player, I mean.

I know who he is for my eyes are keen.

Your blood is desiring, but yet serene.

I know his face and his bright desire,

Laurel leaves are around his brow;

He carries a horn, but sometimes a lyre.

His eyes are blue and his face is fire.
