Saxifrage.

Listen in the reader

The wide, wide sky was a crystal clear, A great blue dome that quivered near.

And oh, the white-flowered miracle grown Out of the broad gray breast of a stone!

Little plant, did you guess that when I heard You whisper your one sweet rune-telling word,

Straight into the crystal I could see, And the Heart of the Sky leaned down to me?
