Letitia Elizabeth Landon

“ In the absence of an available online source, this poem has been transcribed from F. J.
Sypher's 'Poems from the Annuals'
Love's Signal Flower
How much there is of the heart's eloquence
In but a simple Flower!—Oh, Flowers were made
For Love's interpreters!—
⁠L. E. L.
She flung her on his breast,
And she wept those bitter tears
When the present is all grief,
And the future is all fears. ”
