Explore "The Discreet Collector" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Down south there is a curio-shop / Unknown to many men; / Thereat do I intend to stop / When I am south again; / The narrow street through which to go -- / Aha! I know it well! / And may be you would like to know -- / But no -- I will not tell!
'T is there to find the loveliest plates / (The bluest of the blue! ) / At such surprisingly low rates / You'd not believe it true! / And there is one Napoleon vase / Of dainty Sevres to sell -- / I'm sure you'd like to know that place -- / But no -- I will not tell!
