Wilt not, O silent flower of the soul

Wilt not, O silent flower of the soul,
Fragile sprout of hope's light and heaven's water.
Thou who rests on the edge of heartache's cliff, in bold
Defiance of the cutting winds that blow
Across you heedless, thrusting, cold.
O valiant bloom, adorn the hair of sunset's daughter
That she may find her beauty whole.
