Aus dem Werk „The Rossetti Manuscript“ (1810)
The Wild Flower’s Song
As I wander’d the forest,
The green leaves among,
I heard a Wild Flower
Singing a song.
‚I slept in the earth
In the silent night,
I murmur’d my fears
And I felt delight.
‚In the morning I went,
as rosy as morn,
To seek for new joy;
But I met with scorn.‘
