Give me your money to hold.

O columbine! open your folded wrapper,

Where two twin turtle-doves dwell;

O cuckoo-pint! toll me the purple clapper

That hangs in your clear, green bell.

And show me your nest with the young ones in it;

I will not steal them away;

I am old; you may trust me, linnet, linnet,

I am seven times one to-day.

Jean Ingelow.
