James Joyce: A Flower Given to My Daughter

 

A Flower
Given to My Daughter

Frail the white rose and frail are
Her hands that gave
Whose soul is sere and paler
Than time’s wan wave.

Rosefrail and fair — yet frailest
A wonder wild
In gentle eyes thou veilest,
My blueveined child.

James Joyce
(1882-1941)
A Flower Given to My Daughter
