Explore "Offering" by Georgia Douglas Johnson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I seek no tokens of you dear / I only ask to give / The purple flower of my heart / And you will let it live.
I ask no fealty or plight, / I only pray that you / May find earth's barren places bright / Perhaps, because it grew.
And when for you the final sun / Moves toward the darkening West, / I shall be lingering to place / Love's flower on your breast.
