Far better and more beautiful is this fathoming of the very souls of the flowers:

“We are the sweet Flowers,

Born of sunny showers,

Think, whene’er you see us, what our beauty saith:

Utterance mute and bright,

Of some unknown delight,

We feel the air with pleasure, by our simple breath;

All who see us, love us;

We befit all places;

Unto sorrow we give smiles; and unto graces, graces.
