SCENTS by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON

First Line: SWEET WHITE CLOVER
Last Line: BOWED BY RAIN.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; SMELLS; ODORS; AROMAS; FRAGRANCES;

Sweet white clover
Brings to me
Care-free days
Of infancy.

Roses still
Renew the hour
When my spirit
Tasted power.

Nothing can
Assuage the pain
Of pennyroyal
Bowed by rain.
