SONG: AT A DINNER PARTY by AMY LEVY

First Line: WITH FRUIT AND FLOWERS THE BOARD IS DECKT
Last Line: SINCE ALL THE WORLD IS BLIND.
Subject(s): LOVE;
WITH fruit and flowers the board is deckt,
The wine and laughter flow ;
I'll not complain -- could one expect
So dull a world to know ?

You look across the fruit and flowers,
My glance your glances find. --
It is our secret, only ours,
Since all the world is blind.
