IN-DIGN! 
GLADIOLUS BEAUTIFUL 
Oh, stately Gladiolus! Oh, flower of sunset hue! 
Whence comest all thy radiance? Did’st thee the sun imbue 
With loveliness that only is expressed in splendour rare? 
Or why hast thou outrivaled e’en the fairest of the fair ? 
I now can see thine aureate swords 
Reflect the golden sun; 
Again vermilion turns me towards 
A scene where fire elves run. 
O’er there’s an azure petaled show 
Of tall spikes in a line. 
And here’s one niveous as the show: 
Immaculate, sublime. 
The gorgeous blaze of color 
Is softened here and there 
By delicate and dainty tints— 
Describe them? I despair. 
A giant towering yonder 
Bespeaks Utopia’s king; 
Methinks I’ll stop and ponder 
While birds their anthems sing. 
Why hath this wondrous beauty 
Been given us by God? 
‘These flowers of every color 
Grown from uncomely sod ? 
Oh, stately Gladiolus! Oh, flower of sunset hue! 
Thou art the garden’s fairest, the King of Flowers, too. 
—G. E. M.
