Gentian - The Language of Flowers

Gentian.

A very beautiful autumn wild flower,
of a deep blue colour,
with delicately fringed petals.

Virgin Pride.

Alone and pure my life shall be,
A vestal flame from passion free;
Unwon, unwooed by human love,
My heart shall fix its hopes above.

Approach me not with tempting wiles-
My lip denies thee while it smiles;
In virgin liberty and peace
I will live out my mortal lease.
