I tend my flowers for thee— Bright Absentee! My Fuchsia's Coral Seams Rip—while the Sower—dreams— Geraniums— tint—and spot— Low Daisies—dot— My Cactus—splits her Beard To show her throat— Carnations—tip their spice— And Bees—pick up— A Hyacinth—I hid— Puts out a Ruffled Head— And odors fall From flasks—so small— You marvel how they held— Globe Roses—break their satin glake— Upon my Garden floor— Yet—thou—not there— I had as lief they bore No Crimson—more— Thy flower—be gay— Her Lord—away! It ill becometh me— I'll dwell in Calyx—Gray— How modestly—alway— Thy Daisy— Draped for thee!
