What did They do since I saw Them?
Were They industrious?
So many questions to put Them
Have I the eagerness

That could I snatch Their Faces
That could Their lips reply

Not if to talk with Me
Were to Them now, Homesickness
After Eternity.

And offer a Reward
Would I restore my Booty
To that Bold Person, God—
