We planted rose and daffodil,
Flowers that English poets sing,
And hoped for glory in the Spring.

And columbine for carnival,
And dreamt of Summer's festival.

Should doubly wreathe her tawny head
With poppies and with creepers red.

We planted wallflowers in a row.

But love was all that ever grew. — Vita Sackville-West
