short funny poem

listen
but alas, just dreams
dark-eyed
under a spreading chestnut tree
it was a tall young oysterman
to what shall a woman liken her beloved
when you come tonight
there by the window in the old house
under dusky laurel leaf
my soul goes clad in gorgeous things
we who stood
be not angry with me
out of the window a sea of green trees
