1. The Tulip

   by Emily Dickinson

   She slept beneath a tree
   Remembered but by me.
   I touched her cradle mute;
   She recognized the foot,
   Put on her carmine suit, —
   And see!
   

2. Wild Tulip

   by Hilda Conkling

   Mottled like the tiger-lily leaf,
   With black necklace clinging,
   (Of course it has a green cloak!)
   God has made a tulip.
   He made the glacier like a moving jewel,
   He made the tulip
   Like a red cloud lighted by the sun.
   I wonder how it feels to make a flower
   Or a glacier like a great dream!
