Henry Timrod - A Bouquet

Henry Timrod - A Bouquet

Take first a Cowslip, then an Asphodel, br A bridal Rose, some snowy Orange flowers; br A Lily next, and by its spotless bell br Place the bright Iris, darling of the showers; br Set gold Nasturtiums, Elder blooms between, br And Heart's-ease to the Orchis marry sweetly; br Then with red Pinks, and slips of Evergreen, br You will possess -- all folded up discreetly -- br In one bouquet, that none but you may know, br The name I love beyond all names below.
