A poem from Sara Midda's In and Out of the Garden:
Brave flowers,
that I could gallant it like you
and be as little vaine,
You come abroad and make a harmlesse
shew, And to your bedds of earthe againe,
You are not proud you know your birth
For your embroidered garments are from earth.
(quoting Henry King, 1657)
Here are some "brave flowers" from my yard.
