 O columbine, open your folded wrapper,
 * Where two twin turtle-doves dwell!

O cuckoopint, 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.
