| | | | Anemone, so well |
| Named of the wind, to which thou art all free. |
George MacDonald. | 1 |
| | From the soft wing of vernal breezes shed, |
| Anemones, auriculas, enriched |
| With shining meal oer all their velvet leaves. |
Thomson. | 2 |
| | Anemones and seas of gold, |
| And new-blown lilies of the river, |
| And those sweet flowrets that unfold |
| Their buds on Camaderas quiver. |
Moore. | 3 |
| | Thy subtle charm is strangely given, |
| My fancy will not let thee be |
| Then poise not thus twixt earth and heaven, |
| O white anemone! |
Elaine Goodale. | 4 |
| | Within the woods, |
| Whose young and half transparent leaves scarce cast |
| A shade, gray circles of anemones |
| Danced on their stalks. |
