    Cold and yet cheerful; messenger of grief
    Perhaps to thousands, and of joy to some.

In which we feel the pressure of a hand,--
One touch of fire,--and all the rest is mystery!

My mouth unto the leaves, caressingly;

An exquisite invention this,
Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,--

In clever daffodils and pinks;
In puns of tulips; and in phrases,
Charming for their truth, of daisies.

Inflicts no sense of wrong;
No longer wilt thou love me,--
Thy letter, though is long.

Lost in a convent's solitary gloom!
