Jealousy + 

The violets their soft, dark lashes part, + 

While robins serenade them far and near; + 

But the anemone, with ebon heart + 

And blood-shot eyes, pretends she does not hear. + 

The violets invite the nightingale + 

Whose carols fall in dew upon their bed; + 

But the hydrangea, as saffron pale, + 

Holds high above the wall her nodding head. + 
