Golden Pulse

By John Myers O'Hara

1870-1944


Golden pulse grew on the shore,
         Ferns along the hill,
And the red cliff roses bore
         Bees to drink their fill;

Bees that from the meadows bring
         Wine of melilot,
Honey-sups on golden wing
         To the garden grot.

But to me, neglected flower,
         Phaon will not see,
Passion brings no crowning hour,
         Honey nor the bee.
