Poised above in airy grace,

She gave us a soulless flower!”

With her feverish lips apart,—

Type of all the wealth to be,—
Goldenrod!”

With a running flame from ledge to ledge,
Or swaying deeper in shadowy glooms,
A smoldering fire in her dusky blooms;

With a gypsy beauty full and fine,—
A health to the crimson columbine!”
