All I can say is--I saw it! <br />The room was as bare as your hand. <br />I locked in the swarth little lady,--I swear, <br />From the head to the foot of her--well, quite as bare! <br />'No Nautch shall cheat me,' said I, 'taking my stand <br />At this bolt which I draw!' And this bolt--I withdraw it, <br />And there laughs the lady, not bare, but embowered <br />With--who knows what verdure, o'erfruited, o'erflowered? <br />Impossible! Only--I saw it! <br /> <br />All I can sing is--I feel it! <br />This life was as blank as that room; <br />I let you pass in here. Precaution, indeed? <br />Walls, ceiling, and floor,--not a chance for a weed! <br />Wide opens the entrance: where's cold, now, where's gloom? <br />No May to sow seed here, no June to reveal it, <br />Behold you enshrined in these blooms of your bringing, <br />These fruits of your bearing--nay, birds of your winging! <br />A fairy-tale! Only--I feel it!<br /><br />Robert Browning<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/natural-magic-2/
