Sere ring a pipe wood
lodging sweet by tempest lodged
nose knows two colors pale
and deep lilac blossom breezed
pruned some red fall-scattered blossom
hesperis purple mother-of-evening gone spring
angels in bustles deep lilac
pales lilac angels for white

Top-turfy gimp fiery oes eyes
light white flat lacy heads
centrums purple many uneven small
flowers each whorl umbel if
awry ladies songflawed wit pretty 's
well queen unwanted princess throws
horse prize wild carrot autumn
hurdle stands jackdaw-course carried her

From solitary flowerstalk some fingers
fragrance look down ridge-back enamel
leaves snowdrop impetal seagreen unseen
months snowflake unplanted snowdrift sweet
alyssum self-risen snowtrillium new valleys

prairie snow-on-the-mountain wilding seacoast
snowberry-drupe snow-wreath earth-rounds bees' rose
