The Gentian has a parched Corolla -- by Emily Dickinson
The Gentian has a parched Corolla -- Like azure dried 'Tis Nature's buoyant juices Beatified -- Without a vaunt or sheen As casual as Rain And as benign --
When most is part -- it comes -- Nor isolate it seems Its Bond its Friend -- To fill its Fringed career And aid an aged Year Abundant end --
Its lot -- were it forgot -- This Truth endear -- Fidelity is gain Creation is o'er --
