_The Cactus Flower._

by (1857–1940)

Listen in the reader

She came to me brimming with love; The cup of a red cactus flower filled with dew, The heart of a woman wonderful with color and strength and passionate sweetness,

Without reserve, Unconditionally:

“All that I am of life and love is yours--take me!” Ah, the redness of the cactus flower! Ah, the heart of a woman!

Love is Life-in-Bloom-- What blossoms in your garden?
