When the elephant's-ear in the park
When the elephant's-ear in the park
Shriveled in frost,
Shriveled in frost,
And the leaves on the paths
And the leaves on the paths
Ran like rats,
Ran like rats,
Your lamplight fell
Your lamplight fell
On shining pillows,
On shining pillows,
Of sea-shades and sky-shades,
Of sea-shades and sky-shades,
Like umbrellas in Java.
Like umbrellas in Java.
