He listened once again, his ear

Close to my face, and cried,

‘There is no danger – yet, I hear

Such silvery sounds inside,

‘Such sounds as fairies pluck from strings

Of starbeams, in the dew –

O Lord it is a moving thing

To listen, sir, to you.’

His ear was very near my face,

I bit it once, for fun.

He said, ‘You ought to know your place,

With friendship newly born.’

39

‘I trusted you,’ I said, ‘to know

The friendly way I meant it.’

‘Ah well,’ he said, ‘I’ll get to know

Your ways, and won’t resent it.’
