Fall on me like a silent dew,
Or like those maiden showers
Which, by the peep of day, do strew
A baptism o’er the flowers.

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

I will soothe you and heal you,
I will bring you roses.
I too have been covered with thorns.

If from a person's mouth comes a downpour of thorns, from yours should come the petals of a rose.

Flowers fade and fly, and flying fill the sky;
Their bloom departs, their perfume gone, yet who stands pitying by? ...
Oh, let me sadly bury them beside these steps to-night! ...
Farewell, dear flowers, for ever now, thus buried as 'twas best,
I have not yet divined when I with you shall sink to rest.
I who can bury flowers like this a laughing-stock shall be;
I cannot say in days to come what hands shall bury me.
See how when spring begins to fail each opening floweret fades;
So too there is a time of age and death for beauteous maids;
And when the fleeting spring is gone, and days of beauty o'er,
Flowers fall, and lovely maidens die, and both are known no more.

Even if they (Children) try to pluck it,
the flower submits itself onto their hands.
If it happens to prick their heels,
the thorn scorns itself all its life.

If you count the thorns, the flower disappears.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

I don't believe you! Flowers are weak creatures. They are naive. They reassure themselves as best they can. They believe that their thorns are terrible weapons...

Crowded places, I shunned them as noises too rude
And fled to the silence of sweet solitude.
Where the flower in green darkness buds, blossoms, and fades,
Unseen of all shepherds and flower-loving maids — The hermit bees find them but once and away.
There I'll bury alive and in silence decay.

To wander in the fields of flowers pull the thorns from your own heart.

I Fall upon the thorns of life....

Plants and flowers taught me how to grow, by growing in secret and in silence.

Please look out for the few thorns that might have got mixed up with the roses.
