The Purple Orchis
You pluck the bloom to pieces with a smile,
Chattering heedlessly the while,
And I watch you strip the stalk
Of its purple pride of petals as you talk;
And the flower, that when you came
Burst to flame
In the sunlight of your eyes,
Petal after petal dies,
As you pluck my heart to pieces with a smile,
Chattering heedlessly the while.
Chattering heedlessly the while,
And I watch you strip the stalk
Of its purple pride of petals as you talk;
And the flower, that when you came
Burst to flame
In the sunlight of your eyes,
Petal after petal dies,
As you pluck my heart to pieces with a smile,
Chattering heedlessly the while.
