"Lottery, lottery, Take a chance at the lottery? Take a ticket, Or, better, take two; Who knows what the future May hold for you? Lottery, lottery, Take a chance at the lottery?" Oh, limpid-eyed girl, I would take every chance, If only the prize Were a love-flashing glance From your fathomless eyes. "Lottery, lottery, Try your luck at the lottery? Consider the size Of the capital prize, And take tickets For the lottery. Tickets, @3señor?@1 Tickets, @3señor?@1 Take a chance at the lottery?" Oh, crimson-lipped girl, With the magical smile, I would count that the gamble Were well worth the while, Not a chance would I miss, If only the prize Were a honey-bee kiss Gathered in sips From those full-ripened lips, And a love-flashing glance From your eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PSALM 136 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE THE LOVELINESS OF LOVE by GEORGE DARLEY THE CHILD'S FIRST GRIEF by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS VERSES WHY BURNT by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR MODERN LOVE: 43 by GEORGE MEREDITH THE PALM TREE by ABD-AR RAHMAN I |
