Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс)

Songs from the Turret. 5. If I were a rain drop, and you were a leaf

If I were a rain drop, and you were a leaf,
   I would burst from the cloud above you
And lie on your breast in a rapture of rest,
   And love you, love you, love you.

If I were a brown bee, and you were a rose,
   I would fly to you, love, nor miss you;
I would sip and sip from your nectared lip,
   And kiss you, kiss you, kiss you.

If I were a doe, dear, and you were a brook,
   Ah, what would I do then, think you?
I would kneel by your bank, in the grasses dank,
   And drink you, drink you, drink you. 

1. When I Die
2. The Empty Bowl
3. A Bachelor to a Married Flirt
4. The Plow of God
5. Why the Spring is Late
