ARIDITY by GRACE BROWN PUTNAM

First Line: OUR LOVE THAT WAS A RUSHING FLOOD
Last Line: ONE FRAIL FORGET-ME-NOT.
Subject(s): FORGET-ME-NOTS; LOVE;

Our love that was a rushing flood
Where noble rivers met,
Now trickles meanly through the days,
A meager rivulet.

What flowed from high lands of the soul
Down to this lonely spot,
Now scarcely serves to keep alive
One frail forget-me-not.
