The Thistle

Title:     The Thistle
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

De thistle-stalk sends up a noble bloom
Wid de shape of a flower an' de thought of a plume,
But its prickle-y ways turn friendship down;
So it stands all alone, in its velvet gown.
An' it ain't by its lonesome self in dat--
No, it ain't by itself in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Thistle
