The Cabbage and The Rose

The Cabbage and The Rose
(alternate title - Affinity)



I wonder if the cabbage knows



He is less lovely than the Rose;




Or does he squat in smug content,




A source of noble nourishment;




Or if he pities for her sins




The Rose who has no vitamins;





Or if the one thing his green heart knows --




That self-same fire that warms the Rose?



 by Minnie Filson (AKA Rickety Kate)
