Untitled (Listen, and if you do 3)
Listen, and if you do Do not listen that you may steal From the purse of beauty a rare coin Or you will be deceived For what the poet gives You can take only by right His song is a maiden who has never been taken In her own despite Do not listen with greedy ears Or the knowledge you get will prove A load of indigestable [sic] experience Refuse from the mine of love. Lean back in your chairs and be simple And it may be you will hear The bell that hangs upon the branch of language If the air is clear.
