The Passion Flower My love gave me a passion-flower. I nursed it well – so brief its hour! My eyelids ache, my throat is dry: He told me that it would not die. My love and I are one, and yet Full oft my cheeks with tears are wet – So sweet the night is and the bower! My love gave me a passion-flower. So sweet! Hold fast my hands. Can God Make all this joy revert to sod, And leave to me but this for dower – My love gave me a passion-flower. Sarah Margaret Fuller
