1222. A Pitcher of Mignonette

By Henry Cuyler Bunner


A PITCHER of mignonette
In a tenement’s highest casement,—
Queer sort of flower-pot—yet
That pitcher of mignonette
Is a garden in heaven set,	5
To the little sick child in the basement—
The pitcher of mignonette,
In the tenement’s highest casement.
