THISTLEDOWN: 1 by CORA RANDALL FABBRI

First Line: I BEAR THREE FLOWERS SHRINED IN MY HEART
Last Line: I SEE A GREEN GRAVE IN THE HEART OF SPRING.
I BEAR three flowers shrined in my heart of hearts. ...

When on the first I look, which is a rose,
I see a Star, and hear two birds that sing;
When on the next, a pale anemone,
I see a white hand with a golden ring;
When on the last, which is a dead wild weed,
I see a green grave in the heart of Spring.
