TWO WOMEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: You are a snowdrop, sweet; but will
Last Line: If I had kissed your prudence still
Subject(s): Women


You are a snowdrop; sweet but will
You look upon the daffodil
That in a careless hand has lain
So long, it cannot drink the rain
And be renewed, or by the sun
Find that unkindly grasp undone?


You are a snowdrop: put your white
By this spoiled gold, dear heart, to-night:
Touch leaves with this less happy flower
Undone by some too unhappy hour.
You might have been the daffodil
If I had kissed your prudence still.
