How many flowers are gently met <br />Within my garden fair! <br />The daffodil, the violet, <br />And lilies dear are there. <br /> <br />They fade and pass, the fleeting flowers, <br />And brief their little light; <br />They hold not Love's diviner hours, <br />Nor Sorrow's human night. <br /> <br />Tho' one by one their blooms depart, <br />No change thy lover knows, <br />For mine the fragrance of thy heart, <br />O thou my perfect rose!<br /><br />George Sterling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-for-lange-s/
