The Gentian has a parched Corolla --
Like azure dried
'Tis Nature's buoyant juices
Beatified --
Without a vaunt or sheen
As
casual as Rain
And as benign --
When most is past -- it comes --
Nor isolate it seems I
t's Bond it's Friend --
To fill it's Fringed
career
And aid an aged Year
Abundant end --
It's lot -- were it forgot --
This Truth
endear --
Fidelity is gain
Creation o'er --
