A FLOWER was growing alone, <br />Then alone and for ever alone: <br />Some one came by, <br />Saw the flower how fair it had grown, <br />Chose it, plucked it to die. <br /> <br />And what is a flower alone, <br />Then alone and for ever alone, <br />Come no one by? <br />Why should a flower be fair for its own? <br />Choose it, pluck it to die.<br /><br />Augusta Davies Webster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-flower-by-the-path/
