II. A Jonquil | | By A. Mary F. Robinson-Darmesteter (1857–1944) |
| | In the Pisan Campo Santo
OUT of the place of death, | |
| Out of the cypress shadow, | |
| Out of sepulchral earth, | |
| Dust that Calvary gave, | |
| Sprang, as fragrant of breath | 5 |
| As any flower of the meadow, | |
| This, with death in its birth, | |
| Sent like speech from the grave. | |
| So, in a world of doubt, | |
| Love—like a flower— | 10 |
| Blossoms suddenly white, | |
| Suddenly sweet and pure, | |
| Shedding a breath about | |
| Of new mysterious power, | |
| Lifting a hope in the night, | 15 |
| Not to be told, but sure. | | | | |
