LADY-SLIPPER by STELLA PFEIFFER BAISCH

First Line: IN THE LOWLAND BY THE MILL
Last Line: POINTS THE NOOK; I FEEL IT.
Subject(s): BASHFULNESS; SHYNESS;

In the lowland by the mill,
Shaded by the grasses,
Lady-Slipper, shy and still,
Hides from one who passes.

She has lost her way, I trow;
Footprints, naught reveal it,
But the flower lore I know
Points the nook; I feel it.
