Thy subtle charm is strangely given, My fancy will not let thee be,-- Then poise not thus 'twixt earth and heaven, O white anemone! - Anemone [Anemones] Skirting the rocks at the forest edge With a running flame from ledge to ledge, Or swaying deeper in shadowy glooms, A smoldering fire in her dusky blooms; Bronzed and molded by wind and sun, Maddening, gladdening every one With a gypsy beauty full and fine,-- A health to the crimson columbine! - Columbine [Columbines] Nature lies disheveled, pale, With her feverish lips apart,-- Day by day the pulses fail, Nearer to her bounding heart; Yet that slackened grasp doth hold Store of pure and genuine gold; Quick thou comest, strong and free, Type of all the wealth to be,-- Goldenrod! - Goldenrod [Goldenrods] Death in the wood,-- In the death-pale lips apart; Death in a whiteness that curdled the blood, Now black to the very heart: The wonder by her was formed Who stands supreme in power; To show that life by the spirit comes She gave up a soulless flower! - Indian Pipe (st. 4) [Indian Pipes] With careless joy we thread the woodland ways And reach her broad domain. Thro' sense of strength and beauty, free as air. We feel our savage kin,-- And thus alone with conscious meaning wear The Indian's moccasin! - Moccasin Flower [Moccasin Flowers] The seal and guerdon of wealth untold We clasp in the wild marsh marigold. - Nature's Coinage [Marsh Marigolds] Pure and perfect, sweet arbutus Twines her rosy-tinted wreath. - The First Flowers [Arbutus] The starry, fragile windflower, Poised above in airy grace, Virgin white, suffused with blushes, Shyly droops her lovely face. - The First Flowers [Windflowers]
