A Flourishing Hidden Tree

12 x 12

Inspired by "A Prayer for My Daughter" by W.B. Yeats

May she become a flourishing hidden tree

That all her thoughts may like the linnet be,

And have no business but dispensing round

Their magnanimities of sound,

Nor but in merriment begin a chase,

Nor but in merriment a quarrel.

O may she live like some green laurel

Rooted in one dear perpetual place.
