Dark fossil flower I see thy leaves unrolled	A
With all thy lines of beauty freshly marked	A
As when the eye of Morn beamed on thee first	A
And thou first turn'dst to meet its welcome smile	B
And sometimes in the coals' bright rain bow hues	C
I dream I see the colors of thy prime	D
And for a moment robe thy form again	E
In splendor not its own Flower of the past	A
Now as I look on thee life's echoing tread	A
Falls noiseless on my ear the present dies	F
And o'er my soul the thoughts of distant time	D
In silent waves like billows from the sea	G
Come roling on and on with ceaseless flow	H
Innumerable Thou may'st have sprung unsown	E
Into thy noon of life when first earth heard	A
Its Maker's sovereign voice and laughing flowers	I
Waved o'er the meadows hung on mountain crags	I
And nodded in the breeze on every hill	J
Thou may'st have bloomed unseen save by the stars	I
That sang together o'er thy rosy birth	K
And came at eve to watch thy folded rest	A
None may have sought thee on thy flagrant home	L
Save light voiced winds that round thy dwelling played	A
Or seemed to sigh as oft their winged haste	A
Compelled their feet to roam Thou may'st have lived	A
Beneath the light of later days when man	E
With feet free roving as the homeless wind	A
Sealed the thick mantled height coursed plains unshorn	E
Breaking the solitude of nature's haunt	A
With voice that seemed to blend in one sweet strain	E
The mingled music of the elements	I
And when against his infant frame they rose	I
Uncurbed unawed by his yet feeble hand	A
And when the muttering storm and shouting wave	M
And rattling thunder mated round him raged	A
And seemed at times like d mon foes to gird	A
Thou may'st have won with gentle look his heart	A
And stirred the first warm prayer of gratitude	A
And been his first his simplest altar gift	A
For thee dark flower the kindling sun can bring	N
No more the colors that it gave nor morn	E
With kindly kiss restore thy breathing sweets	I
Yet may the mind's mysterious touch recall	O
The bloom and fragrance of thy early prime	D
For HE who to the lowly lily gave	M
A glory richer than to proudest king	N
He painted not those darkly shining leaves	I
With blushes like the dawn in vain nor gave	M
To thee its sweetly scented breath to waste	A
Upon the barren air E'en though thou stood	A
Alone in nature's forest home untrod	A
The first love of the stars and sighing winds	I
The mineral holds with faithful trust thy form	P
To wake in human hearts sweet thoughts of love	Q
Now the dark past hangs round thy memory	G
