FLOWER FANCIES
In some past sunny season / A shoot and stock were wed,- / Made one by gardener's cunning,- / A white rose and a red.
And now the rosy brothers, / All wonder, wonder why / Their sister flowers are fragile, / And strangely pale, and shy.
Those flush and shake with laughter, / These blanch and thrill with fears, / And through the leaves come stealing, / Slow-shed, their dewy tears.
