Primrose

FROM undisturbed seclusion 'midst the tangle Of long-grounded boughs and last year's lifeless leaves

There shines out in a strong determined hue

That ancient pointer to the folrest's age

Which e'en before its pillars lofty grew

Stippled the temple floor with flecks of gold

The glowing-out-of-dimness trim primrose.
