Teach Him — When He makes the names –
Such an one — to say –
On his babbling — Berry — lips –
As should sound — to me –
Were my Ear — as near his nest –
As my thought — today –
As should sound –
“Forbid us not” –
Some like “Emily.”

As Watchers hang upon the East,
As Beggars revel at a feast
By savory Fancy spread –
As brooks in deserts babble sweet
On ear too far for the delight,
Heaven beguiles the tired.
As that same watcher, when the East
Opens the lid of Amethyst
And lets the morning go –
That Beggar, when an honored Guest,
Those thirsty lips to flagons pressed,
Heaven to us, if true.
