English Poetry. Alfred Tennyson. Flower in the Crannied Wall. Альфред Теннисон.

Alfred Tennyson (Альфред Теннисон)

* * *

Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower-but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, all in all,
I should know what God and man is.
