You're right; my mind should drink
Of higher levels,
But I can only think
Of ribald revels.

Here in Paris, I want to write a romance
With exotic candour,—
Of course; fair houris will dance
On the verandah!

I'll picture the water, the harbor, the sky,
And the desert's vapors—
At the gray hour when they start to cry
The evening papers.
