First Line: I mark me how to-day the maples wear
Last Line: And take thy purple of the tiring hours.
Subject(s): Flowers; Gardens & Gardening; Spring
I mark me how to-day the maples wear
A look of inward burgeoning and I feel
Colours I see not in the naked air,
Lance-keen, and with the little blue of steel.
No bud is forth nor green abroad and yet
Air seems to wait with raiment for earth's flowers;
Come, then, ungarmented, thou violet,
And take thy purple of the tiring hours.
