Because the lovely little flower is free
Down to its root, and, in that freedom, bold.”

“Not now. Love itself a flower
with roots in a parched ground.”
"Raleigh Was Right" (1940)
Collected Later Poems (1950)
Context: Not now. Love itself a flower
with roots in a parched ground.
Empty pockets make empty heads.
Cure it if you can but
do not believe that we can live
today in the country
for the country will bring us
no peace.
