Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions

While Asters—
On the Hill—
Their Everlasting fashions—set—
And Covenant Gentians—Frill!

I hide myself within my flower,
That fading from your Vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me—

Soil of Flint, if steady tilled—

For I—inhabit Her—

I could not drink it, Sweet,
Till You had tasted first,
Though cooler than the Water was
The Thoughtfullness of Thirst.

Therein thyself shalt find
The "Undiscovered Continent"—
No Settler had the Mind.

Morning—is the place for Dew—
Corn—is made at Noon—
After dinner light—for flowers—
Dukes—for Setting Sun!
