DEW by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: LOVE IS THE FLOWER OF THE WORLD
Last Line: THE DUST OF THE WORLD LIKE DEW.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LOVE;

LOVE is the flower of the world,
And the flower of the world lies sick;
So dry are its leaves, and curled,
The dust of the world so thick.

Come into my sight, my dear,
Its withering joy renew;
Drop into my heart, and clear
The dust of the world like dew.
