So Frail are We
by Agnes Falconer
So frail are we, pale are we,
Mist-thin, ghost-white —
Hark o'er us, spring's chorus
Trills all life's delight!
And no leaf stirs in all the wood
Yet see! our blossoms quiver!
Dance these not in thy solitude —
Forever!
Note: Windflower is the common name for Anemone blanda.

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
