FOUND

 ONCE through the forest

Alone I went;
To seek for nothing

My thoughts were bent.


I saw i' the shadow

A flower stand there
As stars it glisten'd,

As eyes 'twas fair.


I sought to pluck it,--

It gently said:
"Shall I be gather'd

Only to fade?"

With all its roots

I dug it with care,
And took it home

To my garden fair.


In silent corner

Soon it was set;
There grows it ever,

There blooms it yet.


1815.
