Today you sent me mignonette: As if, perchance, I might forget That winding garden of our play-filled hours Aflame with color, fragrant with bright flowers. I need not even close my eyes to see The box-wood hedge, or the crepe myrtle tree; And though I left it many years ago, Birds hover near the roses still, I know, And little children stoop to look within The lily-cups, so white and pure and thin. I see that dear old garden blooming yet In every spicy spray of mignonette! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH A YOUNG CHIEF RETURNS by ELEANOR G.
