I hide inside a flower so you wear me unknowingly—then feel a loneliness when it fades.
Discovery 6 of 15VII.
WITH A FLOWER.
I hide myself within my flower, That wearing on your breast, You, unsuspecting, wear me too -- And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower, That, fading from your vase, You, unsuspecting, feel for me Almost a loneliness.
