TOKEN, by                    
First Line: I paced the grove an hour / my spirit ill at
Last Line: In that sequestered spot.
Subject(s): Flowers


I paced the grove an hour,
My spirit ill at ease,
And found a tiny flower
Beneath the lofty trees.

It seemed too frail and slender
For hands to pluck or tame;
Too dainty, wild and tender
To burden with a name.

Alike as from a stencil
Its petals were in place,
And yet so small a pencil
Would hide the blossom's face.

My heart rejoiced to find it --
What troubled heart would not?
Such infinite care designed it
In that sequestered spot.
