I	A
	-
THE GLADIOLAS	B
	-
As tall as the lily as tall as the rose	B
And almost as tall as the hollyhocks	B
Ranked breast to breast in sentinel rows	B
Stand the gladiola stocks	B
	-
And some are red as the humming bird's blood	C
And some are pied as the butterfly race	B
And each is shaped like a velvet hood	D
Gold lined with delicate lace	B
	-
For you know the goblins that come like musk	E
To tumble and romp in the flowers' laps	B
When you see big fire fly eyes in the dusk	E
Hang there their goblin caps	B
	-
	-
II	A
	-
THE MORNING GLORIES	B
	-
They bloom up the fresh green trellis	B
In airy vigorous ease	B
And their fragrant sensuous honey	F
Is best beloved of the bees	B
	-
Oh the rose knows the dainty secret	G
How the morning glory blows	B
For the rose told me the secret	G
And the jessamine told the rose	B
	-
And the jessamine said at midnight	H
Ere the red cock woke and crew	I
That the fays of queen Titania	J
Came there to bathe in the dew	I
	-
And the merry moonlight glistened	K
On wet long yellow hair	L
And their feet on the flowers drowsy	F
Trod softer than any air	L
	-
And their petticoats gay as bubbles	B
They hung up every one	M
On the morning glories' tendrils	B
Till their moonlight bath were done	M
	-
But the red cock crew too early	F
And the fays left hurriedly	F
And this is why in the morning	N
Their petticoats there you see	F
	-
	-
III	A
	-
THE TIGER LILY	F
	-
A sultan proud and tawny	F
At elegant ease he stands	B
With his bare throat brown and scrawny	F
And his indolent leaf like hands	B
	-
And the eunuch tulips that listen	M
In their gaudy turbans so	B
With their scimetar leaves that glisten	M
Are guards of his seraglio	F
	-
Where sultana roses musky	F
Voluptuous in houri charms	B
With their bold breasts deep and dusky	F
Impatiently wait his arms	B
	-
Tall beautiful sad and slender	O
His Greek girl dancing slaves	B
For the white limbed lilies tender	O
His royal hand he waves	B
	-
While he watches them softly smiling	F
His favorite rose that hour	O
With a butterfly gallant is wiling	F
In her attar scented bower	O
	-
	-
IV	-
	-
VENGEANCE	B
	-
I	A
	-
Let it sink let it sink	F
On the pungent petaled pink	F
By those poppy puffs	B
Fairy fashioned downiness	B
Light weak moth in furry dress	B
Of white fluffy stuffs	B
	-
	-
II	A
	-
Where the thin light slipping sweet	P
Dimples prints of Fairy feet	P
On the white rose blooms	B
One dim blossom delicate	G
Droops a face all pale with hate	Q
Dead with sick perfumes	B
	-
	-
III	A
	-
And I read the riddle wove	-
In this rose's course of love	-
For the fickle pink	F
Thou the rose's phantom art	R
Stealing to the pink's false heart	R
Vampire like to drink	F
	-
	-
V	-
	-
A DEAD LILY	-
	-
I	A
	-
The South had saluted her mouth	S
Till her mouth was sweet with the South	S
	-
II	A
	-
And the North with his breathings low	F
Made the blood in her veins like his snow	F
	-
III	A
	-
And the West with his smiles and his art	R
Poured his honey of life in her heart	R
	-
IV	-
	-
And the East had in whisperings told	T
His secrets more precious than gold	T
	-
V	-
	-
So she grew to a beautiful thought	U
Which a godhead of love had wrought	U
	-
VI	-
	-
As strange how the power begot it	V
As why but to kill it and rot it	V
