The Humming Bird and the Rose
Oh, humming bird, you are so flick,
You kiss as fast as your heart beats!
Oh, blooming rose, you are so prick,
Your thorns are true but your beauty cheats!
Stop your wings and do not come close,
Your beak is not gold to kiss a rose!
And who is good enough, may I ask?
Fulfilling your demand is too hard as task!
A young maiden with heart-shaped lips
Walking hand to hand with her pair.
She may have too delicate fingertips
To bring your core to live in her lair.
You wave your bill to kiss and fence
The same weapon against any defense…
But my darling, this is my power
I can choose, while you as a flower…
No!
…Will be kissed by any stranger
Me? Away, spare me from this ploy!
Hush, there may be just one real danger:
Yes?
You may beg for more and enjoy!
