Because the lovely little flower is free
Down to its root, and, in that freedom, bold.

Poet of Nature, thou hast wept to know
That things depart which never may return:
Childhood and youth, friendship and love's first glow,
Have fled like sweet dreams, leaving thee to mourn.

To one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping-stones
Of their dead selves to higher things.

Yet soft the billows roll;
Alas! at every breeze I weep –
The storm is in my soul.

Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.
