“How fresh, O Lord, how sweet and clean
Are thy returns! ev’n as the flowers in spring…”
“The Flower” by George Herbert (1633)

“Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trail’d its wreaths; And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.”
“Lines Written
in Early Spring” by William Wordsworth (1798)

“This flower, whose modest form and trembling hue So subtly blend with grass and dropping dew, So shy, so silent, yet so sweetly fair, Is a mute lesson sent from heaven to air.”
“On a Flower” by John Clare (early 1800s)


“I
had no cause to be awake— My best—was gone to sleep— And Morn a new politeness took— And failed to wake them up— But called the others—clear— And handed her a flower—”
“Nature’s Friend” by Emily Dickinson (pre-1886)
