Two Women
Nora Hopper Chesson
1871 to 1906
You are a snowdrop, sweet; but will
You look upon this daffodil
That in a careless hand has lain
So long, it cannot drink the rain
And be renewed, or by the sun
Find that unkindly grasp undone?
You are a snowdrop: put your white
By this spoiled gold, dear heart, to-night
Touch leaves with this less happy flower
Undone by some too happy hour.
You might have been the daffodil
If I had kissed your prudence still.
