Explore "A Flower Given to my Daughter" by James Joyce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Frail the white rose and frail are / Her hands that gave / Whose soul is sere and paler / Than time's wan wave.
Rosefrail and fair–yet frailest / A wonder wild / In gentle eyes thou veilest, / My blueveined child.
Trieste, 1913.
