STREWINGS by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: STROW POPPY BUDS ABOUT MY QUIET HEAD
Last Line: WITH AUGHT OF FRESH OR SWEET!

STROW poppy buds about my quiet head
And pansies on mine eyes,
And rose-leaves on the lips that were so red
Before they blanched with sighs.

Let gilly-flowers breathe their spicy breath
Under my tired feet,
But do not mock the heart that starved to death
With aught of fresh or sweet!
