THINE is the solitude that rare flowers know,
Whose beauty holds the charm of secrecy;
Of all the flowers that in the garden grow,
None other has thy sweet supremacy.
For thine's the oldest secret in the world:
How to be loved, and still to keep apart --
Flower full blown, and bud not yet unfurled --
Gold-fortuned I, whose very breath thou art!
