the cardinal flower - george whitefield chadwick lyrics
when days are long and steeped in sun
the brown brooks loiter as they run
and lingering eddy as they flow
full loth to leave the meadows low;
for then the cardinal, ablaze
with splendid fires, their fancy stays
like a tall indian maiden, dressed
in scarlet robes, with tranquil breast
that ne’er has known love’s humbling thrall
but haughty queens it over all
the flower her image mirrored throws
while proud as beautiful she glows
she sees the speckled trout dart by
and swift* wingеd flit the dragon*fly
over the brook’s smooth watеrs dun;
naught doth she heed them, all or one;
even the sun*god when he woos
with proud indifference she views
the saucy swallow darts athwart
the topaz brook, but wins him naught
of notice from the haughty queen
wrapped in her beauteous self, serene
she dwells alone, untouched by praise
through the brief splendor of her days
