PASSING by MARGARET LOUISA WOODS

First Line: WITH THOUGHTS TOO LOVELY TO BE TRUE
Last Line: THE GORSE IN FLOWER.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LOVE;
WITH thoughts too lovely to be true,
With thousand, thousand dreams I strew
The path that you must come. And you
Will find but dew.

I set an image in the grass,
A shape to smile on you. Alas!
It is a shadow in a glass,
And so will pass.

I break my heart here, love, to dower
With all its inmost sweet your bower.
What scent will greet you in an hour?
The gorse in flower.
