ED: What would I give to see his face?

What would I give to see his face?
I'd give -- I'd give my life -- of course --
But that is not enough!
Stop just a minute -- let me think!
I'd give my biggest Bobolink!
That makes two --
Him -- and Life!
You know who "June" is
-- I'd give her --
Roses a day from Zanzibar --
And Lily tubes -- like Wells -- Bees -- by the furlong

为了见他一面，我会放弃什么？
我会放弃——我会放弃我的生命——理所当然——
但是这还不够！
等一下——让我想想！
我会放弃我最大的食米鸟！
这就是两个了——
他——和我的生命！
你知道“六月”是谁
——我也会放弃她——
离桑给巴尔一日之遥的玫瑰
还有百合的花茎 -- 井 -- 蜂 -- by the furlong

The following little poem note contained a pressed dandelion tied with scarlet ribbon.
To Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tuckerman
Nov. 8, 1881

蒲公英那苍白的花茎
惊扰了绿草
冬天马上变成了
无穷的叹息
-花茎高举着唯一的花蕾
然后是喧嚣的花朵，
—太阳们的宣言
葬礼已经结束

The Dandelion's pallid tube
Astonishes the Grass,
And Winter instantly becomes
An infinite Alas
-- The tube uplifts a signal Bud
And then a shouting Flower,
-- The Proclamation of the Suns
That sepulture is o'er.
