Nymph, nymph, what are your beads? Green glass, goblin. Why do you stare at them? Give them me. No. Give them me. Give them me. No. Then I will howl all night in the reeds, Lie in the mud and howl for them. Goblin, why do you love them so? They are better than stars or water, Better than voices of winds that sing, Better than any man's fair daughter, Your green glass beads on a silver ring. Hush, I stole them out of the moon. No. I will howl in a deep lagoon For your green glass beads, I love them so. Give them me. Give them. No. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BERTHA IN THE LANE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING ASSUNPINK AND PRINCETON [JANUARY 3, 1777] by THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH THE SEA GYPSY [OR GIPSY] by RICHARD HOVEY MY PICTURE LEFT IN SCOTLAND by BEN JONSON THE WORLD; SONNET by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 6.
