WITH FLOWERS by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: THESE HAVE MORE LANGUAGE THAN MY SONG
Last Line: A FOOLISH AND AN OVERWISE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; GIFTS & GIVING; LOVE;

THESE have more language than my song,
Take them and let them speak for me.
I whispered them a secret thing
Down the green lanes of Allary.

You shall remember quiet ways
Watching them fade, and quiet eyes,
And two hearts given up to love,
A foolish and an overwise.
