THE FLOWER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: There's a flower, with a cup
Last Line: Disherited.
Alternate Author Name(s): Sinjohn, John
Subject(s): Flowers


THERE'S a flower with a cup --
A cup of dew;
Golden god plucked it up
And gave it you.

If you shake -- let it spill --
Its pretty rain,
All the world will not fill
It up again.

Careless death it must die,
And, like a weed,
In the sun ever lie
Disherited.
