BAGATELLES: 3, by                    
First Line: I'd like to be the lavender
Last Line: And make her linen sweet.
Alternate Author Name(s): Marzials, Theo; Marzials, Theophile Jules Henri
Subject(s): Lavender


I'd like to be the lavender
That makes her linen sweet,
And swoon and sweeten in her breast,
And faint around her feet.

She'd hardly think of me at all,
And shake out lawn and sheet;
And yet I'd be the lavender,
And make her linen sweet.
