With small flowers between.

In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!”

Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram,
The marigold, that goes to bed wi’the sun,
And with him rises, weeping.”

Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.”
