Analysis of Scentless Flow'rs I Bring Thee
William Watson 1858 (Burley in Wharfedale) – 1935 (Rottingdean)
Scentless flow'rs I bring thee-yet
In thy bosom be they set;
In thy bosom each one grows
Fragrant beyond any rose.
Sweet enough were she who could,
In thy heart's sweet neighbourhood,
Some redundant sweetness thus
Borrow from that overplus.
