  • Text: And after them came quite a little one of the / same family, but with larger and bluer eyes and / a bigger smile, and clothed with silver silk: and / said "And I hope you won't forget me either. / High up the mountains I'm admired, / But those who climb to me / Across the rocks are tired: / And even bird or bee / Lie down quite wearily. / And so I labour for their sake, / And my blue silky cushions make; / And you shall have one, if you come. / My name is / Eritrichium.
