My Flower

ONE night in May in a clear sky

The moon was a daisy flower:

And! put it in my coat,

A bouquet of Love!

Now I shall wear it

When I go

Along the city streets:

The people will say

As I pass by—

“He has a sweet soul!”

They will not see my flower,

And cannot know

Whence comes the fragrance of my spirit!

The Wayfarer
