FRAGRANCE by MAGDELEN EDEN BOYLE

First Line: FRAGRANCE OF HELIOTROPE IS SHE
Last Line: WHERE SHE DWELLS.
Subject(s): SMELLS; ODORS; AROMAS; FRAGRANCES;

Fragrance of heliotrope is she
From grass-starred springs;
Mignonette, in dew-washed Junes,
And all the sweetly lovely things
That stir the heart to beauty's blossoming.

Pure kindliness and loyalties, she gave
Serenely true, as moon-glow
In white lotus pools;
The cyprine wind, that wanders where she is,
The perfumed music of her soul impells,

Immortally, to us who loved her so,
From those eternal gardens
Where she dwells.
