[PHOEBE]
An oyster shell itself is unassuming
But look inside, you'll find a pearl
The man who otherwise is unpresuming
May share the same blood as an Earl
Do not dismiss a woman of position
She can be tenderhearted, I've no doubt
The world be in awfully good condition
If we could all live
Inside out
Though Belladonna is my favorite flower
I love its shape and its perfume
You'd likely join the angels in an hour
Should you ingest its rather deadly bloom
The man who seems a paragon of virtue
May be a scoundrel better versed in sin
There would many fewer people who could hurt you
If we could all live
Outside in
And every one you'd meet
On any London street
If they be sweet or horrid
It would show
I would be overjoyed
The heartache I'd avoid
If I could look at you and know
