Living
Nay, Thank Me Not Again for Those
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Nay, thank me not again for those
Camelias, that untimely rose;
But if, whence you might please the more
And win the few unwon before,
I sought the flowers you loved to wear,
O'erjoy'd to see them in your hair,
Upon my grave, I pray you, set
One primrose or one violet.
. . . Stay ... I can wait a little yet.
