O THAT!

O THAT!

O that I had been your whole and sole world

I had been your enviably a gem enticing emerald!

O that I could, in you, a blind and blissful love herald

I had not felt being remorselessly snubbed and snarled!

O that I had been a solitary sovereign in your heart

I had been more shrewd, diplomatic, sly and smart!

O that I could concede to all your wishes being myself hurt

I could enlist myself among the spurious, conniving and lusty lots!

O that I could hire for you sweet but sluttish, seductive smiles

I could suppress tactfully what pinches me and infinitely riles!

O that I could jump over some pungent and unpleasant stiles

I could keep you revelling with my unintelligible, elusive guiles!

O that I could please you succumbing to all your unacceptable wishes

O that I could reign unrivalled in your soft heart’s solacing recess!
