| That Day She Seized written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Forty New Poems", (1918) |
That day she seized me like a bee,
To make me her weak blossom,
I felt her arms so strong that I
Lay helpless on her bosom.
But cunning I, by artful moves,
Soon had her in my power:
'Ah, Molly, who's the strong bee now -
And who's the poor weak flower?'
That time she thought I was a fly,
And she a great big spider,
She held me fast, my breath was gone,
As I lay bound beside her.
But cunning I, by artful moves,
Could laugh at last and cry:
'Ah, Molly, who's the spider now -
And who's the poor weak fly?'
