LYRICS AND LEGENDS.


WHAT THE CROCUS SAID.

MONTH after month, and day by day,
Beneath sweet mother earth I lay,
And slept and woke, and slept again,
Lulled by the whispering winds and rain.

At times, within my shrouded bed
I felt the restless, hurrying tread
Of human steps, and caught the beat

Of human hearts above the feet.
