Aye, sir?

*blink!*

Ah. Not you, sorry. Line from a poem.

*frowns, smooths his hair* What?

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

Hm? It's from a poem, don't worry.

[kings-boy11.livejournal.com]

...a poem about blond people?

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

One blond person, actually.

[kings-boy11.livejournal.com]

Oh. How does the rest of it go?

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

Birds' love and birds' song
Flying here and there,
Birds' songand birds' love
And you with gold for hair!
Birds' songand birds' love
Passing with the weather,
Men's song and men's love,
To love once and forever.

Men's love and birds' love,
And women's love and men's!
And you my wren with a crown of gold,
You my queen of the wrens!
You the queen of the wrens --
We'll be birds of a feather,
I'll be King of the Queen of the wrens,
And all in a nest together.

*listens* That's...amazing. Who wrote it?

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

A man named Tennyson. Died over a hundred years ago.

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

Mm. You know the rest.

[a-c-smith.livejournal.com]

A very good poem. Big Tennyson fan?

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

Some of his work, yes.

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

It is not truly gold.

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

Yours?

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is just blonde.

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

It's another way of saying blonde.

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[fishybrains.livejournal.com]

You hadn't heard that before--?

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

I have not.
