Opal-spangled Ears

 

Drive with me gaily to Northern lands

With opal-spangled ears

Dine with me quietly in panelled halls

‘Neath crystal chandeliers

Laze with me warmly in emerald baths

As dusk descends to night

Love with me madly in starlit rooms

Enfold me, hold me tight

Lie with me softly ‘tween silken sheets

While sweet dreams fill my mind

Sleep with me gently in distant beds

Two bodies intertwined.
