LEAST LOVE. - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007 LEAST LOVE. THIS small least love of mine, which can but creep Between the twisted stems of joy and pain, Is warmed by sun and bathed by every rain : Last night, transplanted to the fields of sleep, It blossomed so I could not choose but weep, Knowing the sweet, familiar scent again. Mostly it grows unnoticed, fair, and fain In depths of sunlit air its leaves to steep ; But there are times when every fairer flower Looks cold, unsympathetic, in my sight ; Then am I glad to turn, in such an hour, To this my blossom, neither red nor white, Holding the fragrance of the last warm shower ; But, gather it, it fades before the night. |
