The world is growing gentle,
But few know what she owes
To the understanding lily
And the judgment of the rose.


"Proposals" - Venus Invisible and Other Poems (1928)


The world is growing gentle, But few know what she owes To the understanding lily And the judgment of the rose.

The world is growing gentle, But few know what she owes To the understanding lily And the judgment of the rose.

The world is growing gentle, But few know what she owes To the understanding lily And the judgment of the rose.

The world is growing gentle, But few know what she owes To the understanding lily And the judgment of the rose.
