Lit tremulous on some rich-tinted flower.

Rich-tinted, truly; no forget-me-not,

Placid with blue serenity; nor yet

That regal flower, stately in its calm

Fair dignity, that hoards its loveliness

From common gaze, with instinct to discern

The presence of unworthy worshippers.

Not till the twilight shadows have shut out

The common crowd that would have rifled all

Its queenly beauty,—does it condescend
