For Queen Victoria's Birthday
( AN AMERICAN ARBUTUS BUNCH TO BE PUT IN A LITTLE VASE ON THE ROYAL BREAKFAST TABLE, MAY 24 TH , 1890)
Lady, accept a birth-day thought — haply an idle gift and token,
Right from the scented soil's May-utterance here,
(Smelling of countless blessings, prayers, and old-time thanks,)
A bunch of white and pink arbutus, silent, spicy, shy,
From Hudson's, Delaware's, or Potomac's woody banks.
