And the grown-up phrases jangle, and their harps make angry noise—

Helen of the angers, let us put aside these toys!

Put away your wisdom, and I will feed the vines

The little drinks that eat me, and the sunset-colored wines!

Come beneath the apple-bloom, beside the pinky pools,

With awful maledictions on the two who were such fools!

Run, and be as darting as the sunlight through a tree!

Sit, and sing a silly song of apricots with me!

Innocence, oh Innocence, with whiteness on your names,

Come into the crooked wood and help a child play games!
