Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The Birth of the Orchid

Wrapped in her robe of amethyst
Rose the young Dawn.
Pallid with passion came the Mist,
And followed on
Fleet as a fawn.
Down by the sea they clasped and kissed;
Swooned the young Dawn.

Out of that kiss of dew and flame
The orchid came. 

1. At the Boro Boedoer
2. Sonnets of Sorrow. 18. The wise ones tell me that my heart's wild clamour
3. The Coming Man
4. Ye Agents
5. Geraldine
