Letter "F" » Flowers
"The happy bells shall ring Marguerite;
The summer birds shall sing Marguerite;
You smile but you shall wear
Orange blossoms in your hair, Marguerite."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Flowers
"Sweet letters of the angel tongue,
I've loved ye long and well,
And never have failed in your fragrance sweet
To find some secret spell,–
A charm that has bound me with witching power,
For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom,
There's a soul in every leaf!"
Author: Mathurin M. Ballou
About: Flowers
"As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers,
we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own
sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love
them."
Author: Henry Ward Beecher
About: Flowers
"Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and
animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some
are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and
upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock."
Author: Henry Ward Beecher
About: Flowers
"Flowers are Love's truest language; they betray,
Like the divining rods of Magi old,
Where precious wealth lies buried, not of gold,
But love–strong love, that never can decay!"
Author: Park Benjamin
About: Flowers
"Thick on the woodland floor
Gay company shall be,
Primrose and Hyacinth
And frail Anemone,
Perennial Strawberry-bloom,
Woodsorrel's pencilled veil,
Dishevel'd Willow-weed
And Orchis purple and pale."
Author: Robert Seymour Bridges
About: Flowers
"I have loved flowers that fade,
Within those magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents."
Author: Robert Seymour Bridges
About: Flowers
"And lilies are still lilies, pulled
By smutty hands, though spotted from their white."
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
About: Flowers
"Brazen helm of daffodillies,
With a glitter toward the light.
Purple violets for the mouth,
Breathing perfumes west and south;
And a sword of flashing lilies,
Holden ready for the fight."
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
About: Flowers
"Ah, ah, Cytherea! Adonis is dead.
She wept tear after tear, with the blood which was shed,–
And both turned into flowers for the earth's garden-close;
Her tears, to the wind-flower,–his blood, to the rose."
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
