• Flower, that I hold in my hand,
    Waxen and white and unwoful,
    Perfect with your race’s lovely perfection,
    Pure as the dream of a child just descended from the heavens,
    Chaste as the thought of the maid on whose sight first shines the glow of love’s planet,
    Trustful as a boy who holds the world in hands of power unrelaxing,
    Flower, graceful, lovely...
