"Here's the lily, here the rose   Her full chalice shall disclose;   Here's narcissus wet with dew,   Windflower and the violet blue.   Wear the garland I have made;   Crowned with it, put pride away;   For the wreath that blooms must fade;   Thou thyself must fade some day, Rhodocleia." - Maurice Baring
