WITH A FLOWER - I hide myself within my 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.

There is a word / Which bears a sword

Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul,

Going to heaven! / I don't know when,
