First Line: Come not the earliest petal here, but only
Last Line: With their bloom, passes.
Subject(s): Nature; Quiet Life; Solitude; Time; Loneliness
Come not the earliest petal here, but only
Wind, cloud, and star,
Lovely and far,
Make it less lonely.
Few are the feet that seek her here, but sleeping
Thoughts sweet as flowers
Linger for hours,
Things winged, yet weeping.
Here in the immortal empire of the grasses,
Time, like one wrong
Note in a song,
With their bloom, passes.
