Nature

I pluck'd this flower, O brighter flower, for thee

by William Watson 1858–1935

From The Poems of William Watson (1893)

Nature

I pluck'd this flower, O brighter flower, for thee,
There where the river dies into the sea.
To kiss it the wild west wind hath made free:
Kiss it thyself and give it back to me.
