Living
There Are Sweet Flowers That Only Blow by Night
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
There are sweet flowers that only blow by night,
And sweet tears are there that avoid the light;
No mortal sees them after day is born,
They, like the dew, drop trembling from their thorn.
