RONDEAU
The cuckoo stayed his liquid call, The rose peeped shyly o’er the wail, The river whispered as. it ran, And silent fell the pipes of Pan, As you came proudly through the hail. You came! Like Eve before the Fall, You held a waiting world in thrall; Would you be with us longer than The Cuckoo stayed? You came, and lusty men and tail Straighiway became as worms that crawl; You used no wiles of maid with man, Nor fleeting smile nor flirted fan; You were that rarest maid of aliThe Cook Who Stayed!
