YOUNG GIRL, by ALICE MONKS MEARS
First Line: More slightly your wisdom binds her blue-veined wrist
Last Line: Wondering at the choked green death.
Subject(s): Flowers; Girls; Love
First Line: More slightly your wisdom binds her blue-veined wrist
Last Line: Wondering at the choked green death.
Subject(s): Flowers; Girls; Love
More slightly your wisdom binds her blue-veined wrist
than any flower-chain linked on a summer hill.
Finally no word of yours can probe
or touch the night roots of her will.
Hiddenly in love she walks far off,
startled in the jungle, holding her breath,
pushing aside the tangled orchids,
wondering at the choked green death.
