Some word said 152 LOTUS AND JEWEL. " Would bring that tiny splendour, glittering, Forth from the trumpet-blossom's perfumed cup, To brood amid Ayani's hair, each wing Brilliantly spi'ead, and the crest lifted up " A tongue of flickering flame. And one bird — dressed All silver and soft blues, with tufts of silk At each white flank — would fly fond to her breast, And hang between its hills of tinted milk, " Darting in play his bill's black slender curve, Now this side and now that, as if what g...rew On those hill-tops were buds enough to serve For flowers and nectar. And another flew — " Whene'er Ayani summoned — to her lip, A little starry speck whence keen beams gleamed Of gold and purple, in bright fellowship With dark green gorget, and a neck that seemed " I 'lumaged from rainbows. ' Feed ! my Rose-ball, Feed ! ' The girl would murmur, and the bird would poise Eis bright enamelled breast, and blossomy head lie fore her open laughing mouth, with noise DA WN-STONE. 1 53 " Of whirring wings ; plunging the amethyst Of his small frontlet, and his gold-mailecl neck Into that rosy hollow — sweet, I wist, As any rose's heart — and feign to suck " Ayani's honey!
