FLORA, by HENRY PATMORE Poet's Biography

First Line: O, for that afternoon, that lane
Last Line: So I had green, white, red, and blue.
Subject(s): Flowers
O, FOR that afternoon, that lane
Where I picked flowers! Never again
Will common wild-flowers look so well,
So freshly blush the pimpernel,
And modest blue and simple white
Stand in the grass to such delight!
I picked my flowers for Flora's sake,
Happy to have a chance to make
A nosegay she might chance to see,
And know that it was made by me.
I found a baby oak-leaf, too,
So I had green, white, red, and blue.
