COLUMBINE
Fair scarlet flower and yellow of sun
memorial of mercy and the primal sweetness
Fair scarlet flower and yellow of sun
memorial of mercy and the primal sweetness
never in man's soul totally undone,
still waking brightly in the fleetness
of the years; sing gently, gentleness
almost never lost in the wild rocks of fear
cling like hope on hope's lost precipice
and teach us love is still here.
