TO OLIVE SCHREINER.
Pansies, for thoughts; and Rue, for gentle grief;
Roses,—for gladness given in large increase:
Add now to these one soft grey silvern leaf,
Olive,—for Peace!
Roses,—for gladness given in large increase:
Add now to these one soft grey silvern leaf,
Olive,—for Peace!
O life that put'st our noisier lives to shame,
Sign that the Bow shall shine, the Deluge cease!
Steadfast and true and holy like thy name:
Olive,—for Peace!
Sign that the Bow shall shine, the Deluge cease!
Steadfast and true and holy like thy name:
Olive,—for Peace!
