II

Down this side of the gravel-walk

She went while her robe’s edge brushed the box:

And here she paused in her gracious talk

To point me a moth on the milk-white phlox.

Roses ranged in a valiant row,

I will never think that she passed you by!

She loves you, noble roses, I know;

But yonder, see, where the rock-plants lie!
