Anon. Calycanthus Flower

*
"A Feast of Lanterns", by L. Cranmer-Byng, [1916],

p. 89

Calycanthus Flower

Robed in pale yellow gown she leans apart,

Guarding her secret trust inviolate;

With mouth that, scarce unclosed, but faintly breathes

Its fragrance, like a tender grief remains

Half-told, half-treasured still. See how she droops

From delicate stem; while her close petals keep

Their shy demeanour. Think not that the fear

Of great cold winds can hinder her from bloom,

Who hides the rarest wonders of the spring

To vie with all the flowers of Chiang Nan.
