THE DEWDROP.
Open your leaves but a little wider, Rose-bud, so that mine eyes may se3 That liquid jewel, the bashful hider, That glistened a moment and slipt from me. Open your heart but a little wider, Maiden, so that mine eyes may see Its jewel of love, the bashful hider, That flashed for a moment and fled from me. — Songa of a Wayfarer.
