BLUE FLOWER

By Richard Le Gallienne

Blue flower waving in the wind,

Say whose blue eyes

Lift up your swaying fragile stem

To the blue skies.

Is she a queen that lies asleep

In a green hill,

With all her silver ornaments

Around her still?

Or is she but a simple girl,

Whose boy was drowned,

In some cold sea, some stormy morn,

On some blue sound?
