Offering + 

I seek no tokens of you dear + 

I only ask to give + 

The purple flower of my heart + 

And you will let it live. + 

I ask no fealty or plight, + 

I only pray that you + 

May find earth’s barren places bright + 

Perhaps, because it grew. + 

And when for you the final sun + 

Moves toward the darkening West, + 

I shall be lingering to place + 

Love’s flower on your breast. + 
