Blue loveliness the Lassiandra flings
Across the lawn and down the stone-flagged path --
A scattered host of broken, violet wings.
The frail, drenched harvest of the storm wind's wrath;
Like songs some sweet, uncertain poet sings
Amid life's storm - his heart's imaginings,
Lovely in hope, in young ambition's flings,
But loveliest of all in aftermath.
