Dana, Richard Henry: To a Garden Flower Sent Me by a Lady - ZaunköniG - 16.07.2007 To a Garden Flower Sent Me by a Lady No, not in woods, nor fells, nor pastures wild, Nor left alone to changeful nature's care, You opened on the light and breathed the air; But one with blush like thine, and look as mild As dewy morn, with love all undefiled, Chose out a kindly spot, and made thy bed Safe from the cruel blast and heedless tread, And watched thy birth, and took thee for her child; And human hands solicitous have trained Thy slender stalk, and eyes on thee have dwelt Radiant with thought, and human feelings rained Into thy bosom, e'en till thou hast felt That through thy life a human virtue ran; And now art come to greet thy fellow man. |
