IN THE SHADOWS by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: THE SILENT MUSIC OF THE FLOWERS
Last Line: AGAINST MY NAME WHICH WAS A SHADE.
Subject(s): BOOKS; FLOWERS; MUSIC & MUSICIANS; READING;
THE silent music of the flowers
Wind-mingled shall not fail to cheer
The lonely hours
When I no more am here.

Then in some shady willow place
Take up the book my heart has made,
And hide your face
Against my name which was a shade.
