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.

I am busy working to bring Nora Hopper Chesson's "Two Women" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Nora Hopper Chesson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Two Women" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
