Sweet, simple, and apart;
And, from that hour, thy smile hath been
The flower that scents my heart.
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?
We may hear thy voice, amidst thousands more,
In the scented woods of our glowing shore,
But we shall not know 'tis thine!
They cannot tell whither they go;
Yet, however it fails of its errand,
Love makes the world sweeter, I know.
Catching the scent of your Wind-stirred hair,
Now, though you spread it to soften my sleep
Through the night, I should hardly care.
To feel 'tis so!--In heart and brain
To know 'tis so!--while warm and wet
I seem to smell those scents again,
Verbena-scents and rain.
