Nosegays! leave them for the waking, Throw them earthward where they grew Dim are such, beside the breaking Amaranths he looks unto. Folded eyes see brighter colors than the open ever do. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning, A Child Asleep Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed, And daffodillies fill their cups with tears, To strew the laureate to hearse when Lycid lies. - John Milton, Lycidas (l. 149) Immortal amaranth, a flower which once In Paradise, fast by the Tree of Life, Began to bloom, but soon for Man's offence, To heav'n remov'd, where it first grew, there grows, And flow'rs aloft shading the fount of life. - John Milton, Paradise Lost (bk. III, l. 353) Amaranths such as crown the maids That wander through Zamara's shades. - Thomas Moore, Lalla Rookh--Light of the Harem (l. 318)
