The Honey Thief. 



54 



These withered flowers Dick sadly took, 

 And placed them in his music book; 

 Then put the book upon the table, 

 And pressed, the best that he was able. 



The pressed flowers took a wondrous shape, 

 Which seemed the human form to ape; 

 And in these specimens, Christine 

 Is imaged, and her Dicky Dean.
