THE GOLDEN ORCHIDS

The Forest-Ranger's Courtship

In the snow-born waterfalls, we found the golden orchids,
Nodding in the moss beneath the thunder.
Though many a snowstorm, there, had come and gone,
Though many a wind had deeply snowed them under,
They nodded there, and slept in spite of thunder,
In delicate, serene, and golden wonder.
