THE THISTLE
By Audrey Alexandra Brown
Purple -crowned,
The royal thistle rises from the
ground.
Weaponed as fiercely as a feuding
lord •
With spear and sword.
,Reach not your hand
To pluck him where his splendour
stars the land;
Take for yourself your fill in every
spot—
But touch him not.
Lily and rose
Nor hate nor, harm the gatherer
where he goes
Balt sullen sentinel in the border-
lands
The thistle stands.—
With sure defence
Guarding his desolate magnificence
And stooping to despise, since
time began,
Woman and men.
