APART, by                    
First Line: A piece of cliff that broke away
Last Line: What power disposed, and understands?
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Dreams; Flowers; Nightmares


A PIECE of cliff that broke away,
Unaltered else, but single, stands.
And still the old sun its flowers obey,
And still the old rain its growth commands.

Oh flowers I gather with my hands,—
Oh flowers that touch I never may,
As dreams remote, as near as day,—
What Power disposed, and understands?
