Nature

A flower is looking through the ground

by Harold Monro 1879–1932

From Georgian Poetry 1916-1917 (1917)

Nature

A flower is looking through the ground,
Blinking at the April weather;
Now a child has seen the flower:
Now they go and play together.

Now it seems the flower will speak,
And will call the child its brother--
But, oh strange forgetfulness!--
They don't recognize each other.
