1886

```

My mind will tell me

Only what others have taught it:

“A flower is beautiful.”

But my heart feels and sees everything

As a new experience.

It may even discover tremendous power

Inside a tiny flower.

Then how can we say

That the heart is mistaken

When it tells us,

“A flower is powerful.”
