Bring roses for Castara's breast —
Nay, no roses bring.
Let be the rose where she best
Castara's followed Spring.
I know a with poppies red,
Milk-white with blossomed May,
and birch meet overhead:
And that's Castara's way.
O well befall thee, happy way —
Fair thy poppies red!
Be thy skies blue though are gray
And all our roses dead.
For, O our poppies all are white —
And life's a weary thing,
Since, taking from our eyes light,
Castara's followed Spring.
