The telephone
  

„When I was just as far as I could walk 
From here today, 
There was an hour 
All still 
When leaning with my head against a flower 
I heard you talk. 
Don’t say I didn’t, for I heard you say- 
You spoke from that flower on the window sill- 
Do you remember what it was you said?“ 

„First you tell me what it was you thought you heard.“ 

„Having found the flower and driven a bee away, 
I leaned my head, 
And holding by the stalk, 
I listened and I thought I caught the word- 
What was it? Did you call me by my name? 
Or did you say- 
Someone said ‘Come‘- I heard it as bowed. 

„I may have thought as much, but not aloud.“ 

„Well, so I came.“
