My daffodil, my leek, my love

My asphodel, she-dragon, you

Are green of all below, above

Including Eistedfoddau too

And after showering I’m on my way

Where visitors may go to rest

From watching the very sick...

A kiss came out of nowhere

And settled on my mouth

Phantom pleasure from the air...
