Iguanodon safe and unharmed!
You wished—I remember it well,
And I loved you the more for that wish—
For a perfect cystedian shell,
And a whole holocephalic fish.
And oh, if Earth's strata contains
In its lowest Silurian drift,
Or palæozoic remains
The same,—'tis your lover's free gift!
Than come, love, and never say nay,
