You take a pink, You dig about its roots and water it, And so improve it to a garden-pink, But will not change it to a heliotrope. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh (bk. VI) And I will pu' the pink, the emblem o' my dear, For she's the pink o' womankind, and blooms without a peer. - Robert Burns, O Luve Will Venture In The beauteous pink I would not slight, Pride of the gardener's leisure. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Floweret Wondrous Fair (st. 8), (John S. Dwight's translation)
