WHO said, " Peacock Pie " ? 
The old King to the sparrow : 
Who said, " Crops are ripe " ? 
Rust to the harrow : 
Who said, " Where sleeps she now ? 
Where rests she now her head, 
Bathed in eve's loveliness " ? 
That's what I said. 
Who said, " Ay, mum's the word " ?
Sexton to willow : 
Who said, " Green dusk for dreams, 
Moss for a pillow " ? 
Who said, " All Time's delight 
Hath she for narrow bed ; 
Life's troubled bubble broken " ? 
That's what I said.
