The cup comes from Monticello:
A colored picture on the front,
Faded prose on the back.

The tea is from England:
Typhoo tea, the poet's
Favorite, but deep down

In the milky deep of it,
What sweetens it all into
Itself, is the trace of

Honey, of wild flowers of
Thyme, straight from Crete.
This is what makes it good.
