HEART'S-EASE 



THERE is a flower I wish to wear, 

 But not until first worn by you . . , 

 Heart's-ease ... of all earth's flowers most rare 

 Bring it ; and bring enough for two. 



LANDOR. 



T 



TO THE CYCLAMEN 



HOU Cyclamen of crumpled horn. 



Toss not thy head aside ; 

 Repose it where the Loves were bom, 



In that warm dell abide. 

 Whatever flowers, on mountain, field, 



Or garden, may arise, 

 Thine only that pure odour yield 



Which never can suffice. 

 Emblem of her I 've loved so long, 

 Go, carry her this little song. 



LANDOR. 



HOW PANSIES, OR HEART'S-EASE, 

 CAME FIRST 



FROLIC virgins once these were, 

 Over-loving, living here : 

 Being here their ends denied, 

 Ran for sweethearts mad, and died. 

 Love, in pity of their tears. 

 And their loss in blooming years. 

 For their restless here-spent hours, 

 Gave them heart's-ease turned to flowers. 



HERRICK.
