SENT WITH A FLOWER POT, BEGGING A SLIP OF GERANIUM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I've sent my empty pot again
Last Line: And trouble you no more.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ross, Christian
Subject(s): Flowers; Geraniums


I've sent my empty pot again,
To beg another slip;
The last you gave, I'm griev'd to tell,
December's frost did nip.

I love fair Flora and her train,
But nurse her children ill;
I tend too little or too much;
They die from want of skill.

I blush to trouble you again,
Who've serv'd me oft before;
But, should this die, I'll break the pot,
And trouble you no more.
