Variant Title(s): Forgetfulness
Subject(s): Youth
A FLOWER is looking through the ground,
Blinking at the April weather;
Now a child has seen the flower:
Now they go and play together.
Now it seems the flower will speak,
And will call the child its brother --
But, oh strange forgetfulness! --
They don't recognise each other.
