| Long ago I knew that brown integument | B |
| Like a dead husk had dormant life within it | C |
| And waited till a first white point appeared | D |
| Which shot into a naked stiff pale spike | E |
| That grew | F |
| I knew this was not all | G |
| Nothing I said as greener you grew and taller | A |
| But dreamed alone of the day when your bud would unsheathe | H |
| And silently swell and at last your crown would break | I |
| Filling the air with clouds of colour and fragrance | J |
| Radiant waves odours of immortality | K |

| In a pot of earth I watered and tended you | F |
| Breaking the clods and soaking the earth with water | A |
| That fed your roots and eased your way to the light | L |
| I gave you the sun and the rain | M |
| But saved you from scorching and drowning | N |
| You are mine and only I know you | F |
| And the ways of your growth and the days | O |

| But you are not from me | K |
| I am but a pen for a hand | P |
| A bed for a river | A |
| A window for light | L |
| And I bow in awe to that Power | A |
| That made you a flower | A |
