Flowerswell, if anybody Can the ecstacyextasy define,Half a transport, half a trouble, With which flowers humble men--Anybody find the fountain,From which floods so contra flow,I will give him all the Daisies, Which uponopon the hell-sidehillside blow!Too much pathos in their faces, For a simple breast like mine!Butterflies from SanSt Domingo, Cruising round the purple line,Have a system of estheticsaestheticsFar superior to mine!
