The Aloe

A poem by Violet Nicolson, Lawrence Hope, Adela Florence Cory Nicolson (1865 – 1904)

My life was like an Aloe flower, beneath an orient sky,

Your sunshine touched it for an hour; it blossomed but to die.

Torn up, cast out, on rubbish heaps where red flames work their will

Each atom of the Aloe keeps the flower-time fragrance still.
