Lewis Carroll - My Fancy

2014-11-07 567 Dailymotion

I painted her a gushing thing, <br />With years about a score; <br />I little thought to find they were <br />A least a dozen more; <br />My fancy gave her eyes of blue, <br />A curly auburn head: <br />I came to find the blue a green, <br />The auburn turned to red. <br /> <br />She boxed my ears this morning, <br />They tingled very much; <br />I own that I could wish her <br />A somewhat lighter touch; <br />And if you ask me how <br />Her charms might be improved, <br />I would not have them added to, <br />But just a few removed! <br /> <br />She has the bear's ethereal grace, <br />The bland hyaena's laugh, <br />The footstep of the elephant, <br />The neck of a giraffe; <br />I love her still, believe me, <br />Though my heart its passion hides; <br />"She's all my fancy painted her," <br />But oh! how much besides!<br /><br />Lewis Carroll<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-fancy/
