STRANGE MEETINGS: 10 by HAROLD MONRO

First Line: A FLOWER IS LOOKING THROUGH THE GROUND
Last Line: THEY DON'T RECOGNISE EACH OTHER.
Subject(s): YOUTH;

A FLOWER is looking through the ground,
Blinking at the April weather;
Now a child has seen the flower:
Now they go and play together.

Now it seems the flower will speak,
And will call the child its brother --
But, oh strange forgetfulness! --
They don't recognise each other.
