To A Cyclamen
By Walter Savage Landor
I come to visit thee agen,
My little flowerless cyclamen;
To touch the hand, almost to press,
That cheerd thee in thy loneliness.
What could thy careful guardian find
Of thee in form, of me in mind,
What is there in us rich or rare,
To make us claim a moments care?
Unworthy to be so carest,
We are but withering leaves at best.
