There once was a prince with two faces,
Whose tower of cards had three aces.
Of diamonds was green,
With ventings of spleen,
As the faces placed cards in their places.

One, Two, Ten, Nine,
The scarabs flew, He choked on wine,
Three, Four, Eight, Seven,
Through air they soar, Was barr’d from heav’n,
Five, Six, Six, Five,
Wove gold from sticks, Fell down, alive,
Seven, Eight, Four, Three,
Green gleaméd great, Stood up to see,
Nine, Ten, Two, One,
We’re rich again. His work undone.

Rising tall, beside a wall,
Toweréd a tower red.
Thrust heavenward,
Words it adored,
And did call, day, night and all.

Short and curt, the wall did girt
Tower tall, and they did brawl,
The wall to hush
The tower flush,
And convert, or hurt its blurt.

Yet tow’r tall, rebuff’d the wall,
Shouted out to tout the bout.
The wall did fume,
Tower resume,
To recall, words did enthrall.

Behind the Rhyme.

The gravedigger’s daughter
Carried wine and water,
Walking through the graveyard at night.

Walking through the blackness,
Spilled the wine and Ack! Mess!
She stained the dress red that was white.

Gravedigger to daughter
Ran with salt and water
To leech the stain and salve the blight.

The mountain and the cherry tree,
Stood looking at the sea,
Said mountain to the cherry tree,
“Stand not so high on me!”

Said cherry tree to mountain,
“You have no hold on me,
As brook and stream and fountain,
Have no hold on the sea!”

The mountain shook,
No cheek would brook.
Trembled much the tree.

The tree stood tall,
Throughout it all,
And waved branches free.

The mountain and the cherry tree,
Stood looking at the sea,
Sulked mountain at the cherry tree.
“We’ll agree to disagree.”

Behind the Rhyme.
