Excerpt from Collaborators, and Other Poems So, during this calm afternoon in June Ye sit together in the red-brick. House, The window open, and upon the board Dessert is spread, the sugar and the cream, And dish heaped up with fragrant strawberries. I note the crystal goblet's fire, the snow Of napery, and silver plate's brave gleam Thing so suggestive to these gentlemen.
