## The words

Thou art one of the jungle flow'rs,  
strange and fierce and fair; Palest amber  
perfect lines, and scented with champa  
flow'r:  
Lie back and frame thy face in the gloom of the  
loosen'd hair Sweet thou art and lved ay,  
lov'd for an hour!  
But thought flies far, ah, far, to another  
breast, Whose whiteness breaks to the rose of a  
twin pink flow'r,  
Where wind the azure veins that my lips  
caress'd  
When Fate was gentle to me for a toobrief  
hour!
