Asphodel (Asphodelus)
 
With her ankles sunken in asphodel
She wept for the roses of earth which fell.
        E. B. Browning—Calls on the Heart.
  1
By the streams that ever flow,
By the fragrant winds that blow
    O’er the Elysian flow’rs;
By those happy souls who dwell
In yellow mead of asphodel.
        Pope—Ode on St. Cecilia’s Day.
