Fool's Parsley
Nora Hopper Chesson
1871 to 1906
Fool's parsley stands, defiant, on the ridge
Where the grass ends, and only chalk dips sheer
For bank on either side; and near the bridge
Shadowing a little river crystal clear.
Fool's parsley holds its own, and keeps in fear
All pushing daisies that would peep and peer.
There is no place for any rival here —
No space for daisies that would foothold find
Amid the stones, and match their gold and white
Against this glistening flower that fears no wind,
And will not fold itself against the night.
And, overmatched in beauty, still will fight.
