Where To Search

To see a Lotus visit a near lake,
Or to watch Jasmine wait till cold midnight.
Stand nearby a tree in some gay spring-light;
If you like to know how orchid look like.

You are not given a Rose to count thorn.
Nor for dark night, the lake or the spring-morn.
If you are looking for cloud look above
Or rove the wide world for the clearest lough.
