BLUE FLOWER

Richard Le Gallienne

Blue flower waving in the wind, Say whose blue eyes Lift up your swaying fragile stem To the blue skies.

Is she a queen that lies asleep In a green hill, With all her silver ornaments Around her still?

Or is she but a simple girl, Whose boy was drowned, In some cold sea, some stormy morn, On some blue sound?
