Ambition, and Other Poems/Wild Blossoms

Wild Blossoms
No lilies all for milk,Nor roses rich in blood,Can settle my best thoughtsTo browse in solitude.But where the daisy grows,Primrose and violet,In their first happy state,No mortal hand has set:Where these wild blossoms growAll in the grass and moss—I'll raise my hand, O Lord,With a sign of the Cross.
