No one will know that poems, which lie
Like faded flowers, left to die
On some old dusty closet shelf,
Proclaim her very lovely self,
That like a queen she moves through them,
Arrayed in silk and diadem.
Oh, the mute poignancy of page,
Crumbled and yellowing with age!
Once could the voice of Beauty stir
The very roots and depths of her,
But this the world will never know
Of one, who hears the grasses grow.
