I send you a decrepit flower
I send you a decrepit flower
That nature sent to me
At parting she was going south
And I designed to stay
Her motive for the souvenir
If sentiment for me
Or circumstances prudential
Withheld invincibly

- The Send-Off Down the close, darkening lanes they sang their way To the siding-shed, And lined the train with faces grimly gay.

Then, unmoved, […]...
