F726A - I could bring you jewels - had I a mind to

I could bring You Jewels -
had I a mind to -
But You have enough - of
those -
I could bring You Odors from
St Domingo -
Colors - from Vera Cruz -

Berries of the Bahamas -
have I -
But this little Blaze
Flickering to itself - in the meadow -
Suits me - more than those -

Never a Fellow matched this
Topaz -
And his Emerald Swing -
Dower itself - for Bobadilo -
Better - Could I bring?
